Ethan and Ehlana:
The first Sunday in Advent is often also on the Thanksgiving weekend; so we think that it is special on the occasions when the start of Advent gets its own ‘special’ day! That is partially because Pastor John can share a dedicated Christmas message, but there is also different music because it isn’t a teen-led service; and we have a Sunday school class too. Add in spending some of our time helping out with getting ready for the Christmas services that the teens and kids will be involved in or leading. Thanks to all of that, we had an awesome morning – along with the amazing start to our day that included waking up with our favorite cuddle buddies; Tai Chi by the river; and a hot breakfast – though that meal was apparently not nearly as busy as the one Cassie and Michael hosted for the Stone family while reuniting their overnight guests with parents including Sophia’s Mom, Dad, and brother!
Ehlana and I decided to go and play at the lab or archives this afternoon, so after having lunch with Mom and Dad, we headed over there while our best friends were busy with their own families. Try not to be shocked by that, but we do actually share them now and then – though Aiden might have preferred to play with us instead of helping out at the bakery today! After taking the rest of the weekend off, Dad had a lot to get done today anyway; and we won’t write about what Mom might have been doing while we were at the lab to distract him from getting that work done! Dinner was an easy meal that we helped Mom with after getting home from the lab; and our evening has been quiet with only a short Magi lesson and a bit of family business work before bath or Jacuzzi time was ordered along with an early bedtime after two late nights.
That’s pretty much all we have for tonight, so let’s just do our Christmas music video pick of the day; and call it a night.
While there is always a lot of new Christmas music releases every year, there aren’t really very many new, original songs that get added to our favorites list. This duet is one of those new songs; the harmonies and amazing; and we expect that it will be a future classic!
Hallelujah – Carrie Underwood and John Legend
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
