girlfriends rule!

Tonight was the choir Christmas program and supper at our church. We met Gigi, Uncle Denny, Gran, and Pop there, anticipating that we'd enjoy a meal and some beautiful music together. We did share a meal, but Dennis asked to go to the nursery rather than stay for the choir and orchestra performance. You see, Grace was in the nursery along with her baby brother, and Dennis can't give up an opportunity for time with Grace! We've already been passed over in favor of the girlfriend! I thought we weren't due for this particular situation for a few years yet, but I was wrong.

We had a quiet evening at home afterward, each one of us kind of doing our own thing. Dennis made great strides in his room cleanup, thank goodness, but he still has a ways to go. One of the things on his computer Advent calendar shows an elf cleaning up a bookshop, and he announced last night "I sure could use an elf to clean up my room!". Neely must not have heard. He was busy climbing our Christmas tree.
