This evening all four of us squeezed onto the piano bench and we sang Advent carols together. Jonathan is just now starting to enjoy singing at the piano – sometimes he’ll climb up on the piano bench, page through the hymnal, and ask me to “sing it?” His attention span is pretty short, but it was a lot of fun tonight anyway. Old hymns are pretty amazing, and we found a few unfamiliar ones tonight that we really enjoyed.
After that we meant to put Jonathan to bed. But putting on pajamas led to tummy kisses, and then Jonathan wanted to kiss our tummies, too. So we all ended up on our bed together, with kisses and hugs and tickles and snuggles liberally distributed to everyone.
Bedtime ended up being a little later than planned…but for such a lovely reason!

there aren't enough really good Advent carols.
I suppose that's why some churches resort to singing "Hark the Herald," "Joy to the World," and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" as soon as Thanksgiving is over. Heh.
