It was one of the most exhausting, and yet enjoyable, weekends I can remember. Friday evening Thomas had a sleepover of some friends. They were up pretty much all night and it certainly sounded as though the enjoyed themselves the entire time. I was exhausted myself come Saturday, but I really did enjoy listening to them have so much fun. Saturday morning everyone had rehearsals at church for yesterday's program, and then Robert and Catherine volunteered in the afternoon for the church babysitting session, Andrew had to work at basketball games, and Thomas and I were off to visit my mother and grandmother and deliver fruit Robert had sold to them. Thomas pretty much slept all day, and ended up going to bed at 6PM and sleeping 14 straight hours. Andrew didn't get home until after 9:30, but we enjoyed hanging out for a little while before trying to catch up on some sleep ourselves.
Yesterday was the children's program at church. It was absolutely gorgeous and beautiful, and so moving that at one point there weren't too many dry eyes in the house. It was a beautiful reminder of the real reason of the season and I just can't adequately express how great it felt to watch my kids be a part of it. Thomas had a line to read, and Catherine and Robert played their instruments. I truly enjoy watching Robert play the trumpet because he makes very comical facial expressions while doing so.
Our afternoon yesterday was spent watching both the Steelers and the Broncos win (I've always been a big fan, although it's not like it used to be). Andrew spent all evening working on writing a final, and I helped Robert study (I'll post about that separately). Thomas and I spent a little time reading Christmas books, and it just felt like a great way to begin the last ten days before Christmas!
