Sing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus!
Merry Christmas Everyone! We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and Tyler blew out a candle on a cupcake that his preschool had sent home for this very occasion. We are doing our best and hoping that we are raising our sons to know the real reason for celebration at Christmas: Jesus.
After opening our stockings and unwrapping gifts, we loaded up the car and headed to Peoria to be with family.
I hope you all enjoyed reading about our daily activities as much as we enjoyed doing them together as a family! We'll definitely be repeating this next year!

Day #24
Open one gift after the Christmas Eve service
We went to Christmas Eve service at 6 PM. Tyler got to hold a candle for a bit which was exciting (but not necessarily the good kind of exciting). I escaped with only a bit of wax on my pants.
The church bulletin had said the KQ kids were going to sing Away in a Manger again so Tyler was excited to redeem himself after his first performance earlier in the month when he stood on stage and just stared out at the crowd. He was very excited to have a second chance and was grinning from ear to ear standing on the stage. As the music started, his smile slowly faded and was replaced with a worried look when he realized that this wasn't the right song and he didn't know the one playing. I rescued my worried little guy from the stage and we walked back to our seats. The bulletin was incorrect, but I'm really glad that he was going to give it a try.
Here is a picture from his first "peformance" on December 7th...notice no clapping or singing:
