It's early early Christmas morning here. Matt and I are winding down from Christmas Eve and looking forward to tomorrow (well later today really) and seeing our little girl's face light up when she sees all her gifts under the tree.
In preparation for Christmas this year I thought it would be a good idea for Randal to help decorate cookies. Ha! By no means was it a disaster but I learned quickly that a 22m old does not have the patience to decorate anything once icing and sprinkles are put in front of her. While decorating I looked over at her and she honest to goodness had tipped the bowl of sprinkles up to her mouth and was drinking them. Nice!
On Christmas Eve we went to the 5pm service at Port City Community Church. They don't offer child care during Christmas service so Randal Jean was with us. We actually made is through 60-70% of the service before she got to antsy and we had to walk out. I was pleased with that, but bummed that she chose the sermon/message as the time she wanted to leave. I really enjoying hearing the Christmas story, but hopefully next year we will have more luck. Also next year we will try an earlier service. It was jam packed at the 5pm service (the 3rd and final of the day) and we were left standing against the back wall.
After we got home from church and ate dinner we watched "The Search for Santa Paws" on Disney. Randal Jean sat and watched the entire movie!!!! I know the odds of anyone of our friends/family who follow this blog actually knowing this movie is rare...but lets suffice it to say there is a mean foster home lady in the movie that is really mean and banishes the foster girls to the basement when they are "bad." At one point in the movie the foster care lady sends the oldest foster child to the basement to sleep along with the dog (Santa Paws) she brought in. When this scene in the move went down Randal Jean poked out her bottom lip and started crying. Probably one of the cutest things to see her get upset over the little girl and puppy being banished to the basement. Also, pretty neat to see that she is starting to understand storylines.
Here are some pics of recent Christmas happenings around the Bork household.
