Yay hay. We finally got to light our first advent candle and read the first chapter of Jotham's Journey. The boys listened in a reasonably acceptable manner anf G lit the candle without sustaining any burns. And then it was time to decorate the tree. Ds 1 was a little more attentive in his efforts but ds2 put two decorations on and then ran off to play. The baby cried alot. I a sorely disappointed. All my ideas of making wonderful, meaningful Christmas memories are falling by the wayside. I hope for better tomorrow, when we will search out a branch for our Jesse tree. I will keep you posted.
