Day of Firsts

Today was a big day in our house. Full of many "firsts".

It started with the first (and hopefully only) time we had 5 kids to get ready for church. And not just any church, but the kids Christmas Program Sunday.

Showing off our gingerbread houses.

Then, for the first time in our family history, all 3 boys participated in the program! And by participated, I mean they made it on stage.  That was my only goal today, and we were successful! We even had some actual hand motions, and Jack sang a verse or two. In between winking at me, raising and lowering his eyebrows, and yawning, of course.

Watching his brothers 'perform'

Can you find Micah?

And there it is,  my three boys up on stage.  I was beaming! And sweating.

Continuing with our Advent activities, Brandon and I decided to do something crazy today. After a sleep-over, and a busy morning that started pretty early, we skipped naps and went to the movies.  For the first time as a whole family.

I think I laughed harder then the boys, but seriously when the chickens sang Cee Lo Green, I thought I was going to pee my pants.

Now it is 8:30, the boys are all passed out, and I am watching Once Upon a Time. Again. I seem to be addicted.

Happy Sunday to all of you!
