Sunday is Here

Well this is the day. Remembering back to childhood, I could finish that sentence with a song. It is indeed the day that the Lord has made. But today we are taking a break from Sunday School and Nursery. Today is for the family. In a few moments we will begin baking. After that, we are going to crank up the Christmas music, sing loudly and dance badly or vice versa... We are going to decorate this house and let the kids decorate too, and not *fix* it.

After decorating it will be a Christmas video with the whole family watching, supper on our laps.

As a very happy coincidence, tonight is the first of our newly instituted Family Game nights. This will be one full hour of undivided attention. We will sit on the floor and play games with the kids. All too often their time spent with us lately, and especially during this time of year, is full of distracted togetherness. We're all here, but I'm ashamed to say there are too many "not right now honey"s and "Mommy and Daddy are BUSY" s for my liking. Oh I know we need to be busy and they have to learn that, but I also think we need to be not busy too. So from 6:00 p.m to 7:00 p.m, if you call, you'll have to leave a message ;-)
