Christmas week

So, more than a week has passed since my last post.  That doesn't mean nothing has happened.  Sometimes I wish I were in the habit of writing daily, but I'm not.  Thank you for checking in.

The two Christmas Eve services went smoothly and were well-attended.  E and e, along with Caitlin, came to the the early service, which was led by youth of the church.  Then we walked back to the new house, where K had prepared a delicious pork tenderloin dinner.  Randy, Sarah and Erik soon joined us.  Randy and I left about 8:20, walking back to the church for the choir warm-up.  S and E arrived in time for the service.  We were home by 10:30, I think.

Christmas morning Randy and I were back at the church for a regular Sunday morning service; attendance was rather sparse, maybe 35 people.  Randy sang with the choir again.  When we got home, Sarah had started the lasagna sauce simmering and was making Magic Peanut Butter Middle cookies (yum!).  Our guests arrived about 4, and we enjoyed talking and eating and opening a few gifts.

This week I've watched e on Tuesday and today.  E and K were off Monday, and E off yesterday.  And she told me this morning that K will be off work tomorrow, so he will have fun with e.  I hope Randy and I will spend the day together, take a walk, watch a movie, whatever.  Just relax a bit, the two of us.
