We didn't make it to church this morning, this first Sunday of Advent. Neither Dennis or I were up for it. It was rainy and cold and we were sniffly and exhausted. We snuggled in, took naps, and spent a lazy day at home. We lit the first candle in our Advent wreath tonight at dinner and talked about the hopes for the coming of the Savior, about the meaning of the season, the prophecy of His coming.
Dennis treated us to a ninja demo tonight, dressed in dump truck pajamas, a camouflage ninja head covering/eye mask, and boots: one brown cowboy boot and one black spider rainboot. He did some rapid spins and martial arts moves before running off to his next project. Just about bedtime, he told me "I need to shake my body now!". He put on his reindeer slippers, his superman ball cap, his batman sunglasses, some strands of Mardi Gras beads, and several rubber wrist bands. He told me to play "Rock Your Body" on my iPhone and set it on his ottomans. He danced and danced, some breakdancing, even, and indeed shook the heck out of his body for over 10 minutes. And then he had trouble getting to sleep. Tomorrow morning I'll have to peel him out of bed!
Tonight he is thankful for "every firefighter in the whole universe."
