December 20 - Church

We went to the Christmas service at Willow Creek this evening. First, I have to say, my kids have been having to get dressed up a lot in the last two weeks and they have been troopers but Mia was just not in the mood to wear her fancy dress and bow this evening so she looks sort of waif-like (my Grandpa's term for Mia when she is giving her best I-don't-want-my-picture-taken look.) Tyler got to stay with us during the service this year as it was very much more like a Christmas show than a sermon. Mia went to childcare and cried the entire time. Afterwards we went out to dinner with Mike's mom and the kids got ice-cream sundaes - a huge treat, to make up for this dress-up torture.
