Sorry for the delay in blog posts. Things have been crazy ~ as you can all imagine! Tonight was the first chance to download pictures from camera, upload to the blog, and post. I am going to try to catch you up on things with a few small snippets from our lives.
1. I have big, fat, colored Charlie Brown lights on my house. Those that know me well - understand how huge this is. I HATE colored lights. But AGP said, "Momma, we need lights on the house so Santa Claus can find our house." I sacrificed color and Papa sacrificed altitude! The things we do for AGP!
2. AGP has asked for 2 things from Santa... a rocking horse {brown} and a big baby bed {for all her babies to sleep in at once}. These are her exact words and specifications. At one point she asked for a roll of wrapping paper but that has dropped off the list.
3. Every time we go to Target {which is almost daily}, AGP must do 2 things... look at the Christmas decoration section and play with the Handy Manny workbench.
4. Our new church opened. AGP loves to go to the brand new church to see Fadder Bill and the children!
5. AGP celebrated the 12 Days of Christmas with a "sneaky Christmas elf" that would fill a stocking on the front door, ring the bell, and run away! We had some interesting surprises ~ geese laid droppings not eggs {chocolate covered raisins}, french hens left chocolate filled croissants, and 10 other fun and quirky prizes!
6. So far, the presents under the tree are untouched. According to AGP, you can't open presents until Santa comes.
7. AGP has issues keeping secrets. She never tells Papa any of our secrets for him but she runs to tell me all their secrets. We don't understand why she does this, but she does!
8. AGP remembers Baby Jesus being in the hospital when we visited Mee Mee last year. {Nativity scene by elevators at EAMC} She asked when we were going to the hospital to tell him Happy Birthday! I decided not skip the flu precautions explanation {no one under 19 can enter hospital unless you are the patient}. I told her Baby Jesus would see her at the brand new church this year because he was alive and well enough to leave the hospital.
One final note, I may be more excited about Christmas this year than ever before. If nothing else, Christmas through AGP's eyes make me appreciate all the small things and the pure joy of the season.
