He was fast asleep at the new year!

We said to take a nap. And although there was so much to play and much to do, they laid down for about 15 minutes. I, on the otherhand was exhausted the majority of the day. The usual course of events after Christmas. I could sleep for a week after, what these children put me through on the morning of Christmas. They start knocking and knocking at the door at about 4 am and we keep putting them off. This year the gifts were really a gift and we had very little last minute wrapping to do. When we got to Watchmeeting service as we affectionately refer to it. The boys were in their usual romping mode and I had to keep an eye on them to make sure that they didn't tackle any of the older people or spill something unmentionable or worse on the carpet in the fellowship hall. Finally, I corralled the 2 of those monsters into the sanctuary, fully expecting to have to keep both hands on them in service and before the first prayer they were out like lights. Out! I had to hold them to make sure that they didn't fall out of the pew seat. God blessed our time with His presence in worship. Halleluia, what a Savior! My heart and my pew is full! says mommy
