Well Blog Rolls Rock! How fun is that?
It is weird that once I started a blog, I started constantly thinking in blog posts. When things happened throughout the day, I would write a blog post in my head about them. (Now I think in Facebook statuses too). Shamefully they never made it to the blog, but whatever. I am working on it.
Now that I am here again maybe I can try harder. I wanted to update pictures right now but as is typical when I want to do something with it I can't seem to locate my camera. Figures. I did promise myself that my blog does not have to be perfect to be used, though, so my imperfection (as much as I hate it) is not going to stop me from posting. Maybe next time!
Today at church was as Intergeneration Church School Hour, which sounds a bit more grandiose than it was. It was, however, really really fun. Families who braved the icky cold rain on a holiday weekend to actually come to church got spend the Sunday School hour together rather than in separate classes. First we played Name that Tune with Christmas Carols. Then we decorated living Christmas Trees - not trees at all, but people at each table who agreed to be trees decoated by random found items in boxes at each table. Mark was our tree and he rocked! After a parade of all the trees, there was a story and some children unwrapped a gift of the manger. Then St. Nicholas came for family pictures. It was a really fun event. Are you looking for pictures? yeah - me too. Had I known it was all going to be so camera-worthy, I'd have located my camera before church. I just didn't know. grrr. . . . Thankfully there is someone who takes LOTS of pictures for the church web site who was there, and he even had his camera with him! As soon as they are posted to the church site I will link to them.

12/8/08 Here are the best of the photos - You can imagine from these how fun the morning was!
Mark checking out his tree competition.
All the Living Trees (Wonder which of these has the most rings??)
Jillian usually refuses to do anything like this so I was shocked that she agreed at all. Erin (you know, the shy one) is all about it, and is of course reassuring Jillian that St. Nicholas is our friend.
Here are the Tablers and Nana with St. Nicholas.
