We actually do other things besides worry about the house.\u00a0 A couple of weeks ago\u00a0our family was asked\u00a0to do the reading response and light the candle for the third week of advent at church.<\/p>\n

I lit the candle, Noah did the reading (Allie held the microphone for him)\u00a0and he did a great job.\u00a0 Ben didn’t want to get up (no surprise) but it was a wonderful family event.<\/p>\n

Benjamin had his school Christmas pageant last week.\u00a0 It was really cute.\u00a0 He was too shy, but he did manage to get up on stage.\u00a0 He spent a lot of time trying to hide and peeking around his friends trying to get a glimpse of the crowd.\u00a0 I don’t think that he sang at all, which is a real shame.\u00a0 He knew all of the songs.\u00a0 He sang them at the dinner table every night.\u00a0 I think that he just get freaked out by all of the grownups.<\/p>\n

This past Sunday the boys had their church music class Christmas show.\u00a0 We wanted to have an early dinner before the show.\u00a0 We made a ham, some stuffing, some veggies, and Allison’s yummy mashed potatoes.\u00a0 Benjamin wanted to help out, so we got him peeling some potatoes.\u00a0 This apartment is pretty small and has zero kitchen counter space so naturally they peeled the potatoes right in the living room.<\/p>\n

The show was the story of the luminary.\u00a0 Noah was the innkeeper which was a main character.\u00a0 Benjamin was the innkeeper’s son.\u00a0 Ben started out very shy again, but ended up on stage.\u00a0 He seemed to have the most fun constantly pulling off his brother’s headpiece.\u00a0 It sure got a giggle out of the audience.<\/p>\n

After the show luminaries were handed out all around.\u00a0 I’m not sure if we’ll actually use the ones that we have since we’ll be travelling all over the place, but it was a nice gesture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
