Christmas Eve...

We took the girls to Christmas Eve service this evening, as we always do.  Since our kids are smaller, we opt for the 5 pm service as opposed to the 11 pm.  Anyway, funny, short story...We were going about the service pretty uneventful and then it came time to pray and the pastor said something about the presents were bought and wrapped and the cookies were baked.  JUst when you thought they weren't listening, Teagan blurts out, "MOM, we forgot to bake the cookies!"  I can see the older ladies sitting ahead of us start to snicker and I quietly reassured her that we would bake some when we go home. (Which we did.  We baked some peanut butter with chocolate stars.  We had to have something for Santa!)  Chloe also wrote Santa a note because since we are selling our house, lots of stuff is in the storage unit and among the items is our stockings (hopefully).  She wrote him a note stating that we can't find our stockings this year but he could use the labeled Zip Lock bags on the table for stockings.  She wrote another note saying that she and her sisters would "enjoy" a Wii and some Wii games and that Teagan didn't care what she got.  And a third note pointed to some carrots that were labeled as Reindeer food.  I didn't buy any toys this year for the girls so I hope Santa brings some!!  I'll fill  you in tomorrow...Enough for now...-AS
