We spent the morning shopping again (mistake) and then went to church for the Christmas Eve service. No nursery for Christmas Eve, so this turned out to be an hour and fifteen minutes of torture as Dennis walked and climbed on us and asked out loud where baby Jesus was over and over and then yelled "I CAN'T BE QUIET!!" when we asked him to. Next year: Episcopal church service. It's shorter with more songs and a bit more intimate and worshipful. After church, we had Christmas dinner at Gran's house and Dennis got to open presents. He got a very nice kiddie digital camera from Gran and Pop and took some great pictures of all of us. We loved watching him find the tripod, set it up, and then carefully set his camera up on the tripod to take his own picture (note: he pretended to take his picture--he hasn't figured out the timer setting yet). He learned about this earlier when we set up the tripod at home to take our picture when we were all dressed up for church. He also enjoyed dressing up as a police officer in his new outfit from Gran and Pop, and he took turns cuffing all of us with his new handcuffs.
Once we got home, we set up a plate of peanut butter cookies and a Coca-cola for Santa and then Dennis went to bed. Pretty soon after that, David and I came on to bed! We don't know what time the little guy will remember Santa and wake us up in the morning! Merry Christmas!!
