Merry Christmas Eve!

Oh Boy, I really hope we make it until tomorrow~ my two monkeys have been up since 5. Brady was asking AGAIN if Santa had left something in his stocking yet. I am excited for Santa to come too, but would be more excited if I could sleep a little too! Merry Christmas all!

Kid's Christmas Progam

Today the kids performed in the Christmas Program at church (2 services). Here is video of their performance. The song is called Angel Band and I am attaching the lyrics since I am sure you won't understand them. They had a great time with the instruments though!

The Angel Band by Hap Palmer

(Solo) One glorious Christmas morning
Ten angels did appear
And each on held an instrumetn
Carefully made by hand
First they counted off to ten
Playing one by one
Then they played together
in a joyful Angel Band.

(All Sing)
There was one, there were two, there were three little angels
There were four, there were five, there were six little angels
There were seven, there were eight, there were nine angels
Ten little angels in the band!

Oh wasn't that a band Christmas morning,
Christmas morning, Christmas morning?
Wasn't that a bandChristmas morning?
Ten little angels in the band! (Repeat)

The kids are on the front row Brady at the far left and Katie is 5th from the left.

The Funny Things They Say.....Part 123,567,234

Katie:

On our drive home from W Palm Beach for Thanksgiving, we made a pit stop. Katie said she didn't need to use the restroom. Ten minutes down the road, Katie says she has to go poopie. Mommy says "Well, you will just have to hold it." Her reply? "I have to hold the poopie in my hand?"

Brady:

When he tooted this morning, Daddy asked "Brady, what was that?"
Brady replied with a giggle "There's a duck in my pants!"

Katie:
We put the Christmas decorations out today. Katie helped me put out the Nativity set while the Lanigan males went to CVS (or PB&J as Brady calls it) to get a string of lights. I ask Katie who Baby Jesus' daddy is. She said "Joe-fuss!" It sounds so funny!

My last thought before I close, why does she think its funny when her brother goes in timeout?

Our update....

It's been a busy couple of months and we haven't felt much like celebrating. I have tried to write this post a few times and could never get it right, so here goes....Rob's sister, Kelly, passed away peacefully on 9/12/08 in her sleep with her mom and dad and partner Richelle nearby. Aunt Kel, as B&K loved to call her, will be greatly missed. She had bravely battled breast cancer for 4 years and in July decided to stop all treatments and scans so that she could enjoy her days. Our family is in pain and we all really miss her.

I called Mimi's cell phone today and Kelly had recorded her voicemail greeting about a year ago. It was the first time Rob and I had heard her voice and we both took it hard. Brady noticed our sadness and immediately went up stairs to retrieve his favorite blanket and the stuffed Tiger that she had given him. He took them to Rob and told him that they would make him feel better. They did, too.

Back in the spring, Rob and I committed to walking in the Breast Cancer 3Day walk in Tampa Bay (60 mile walk over 3 days). This walk benefits the Susan G Komen foundation. Rob has raised almost $2200 and I have raised almost $4000. We had hoped that Kelly would be there at the closing ceremonies with us. She was so excited that we were doing this walk and while we know she will be pushing us along- we know we will cross the finish line with heavy hearts. Please pray for us- that we will have the strength and endurance to make it through on 10/31-11/2.

Love- Tam
