Christmas Liturgy

Today was an extremely busy day for me. I just was go go go all day and into the evening. I had the priviledge of accompanying Reuben's class on a visit to Christian Horizons (which is a group home for the Mentally Challenged - is that politically correct??). The grade 1 class just went to sing songs and read the story of the candy cane. It was so cute the kids LOVED it and so did the residents, Sara one of the residents was so happy to see us, she had to be reminded sooooo many times - no more hugs Sara, no more hugs.
Unfortunately I had 4 different places to be in the evening and couldn't do it all so I missed Mason's school Christmas program. Darren said it was great, I did get to see a video that he made of the evening although I could barely hear the song I watched Mason do his thing. So cute, he's so little to me - I forget that he's already in school and doing all these 'big' kid things. If I could figure out how I'd attach the clip of his class singing, but for now I'll just note how cute it was.
This week is busy at school for the boys, the last week before Christmas - parties, singing, programs, just so much fun. Reuben is so excited for 17 sleeps before he goes back to school in 2009. It looks like the snow is arriving just in time for Christmas this year..... oh how I love this time of year. My shopping is done, the house is decorated, the cards are mailed, now to wrap and to prepare the eats..... Merry Christmas everyone!!!
