Wanna know how to stretch out every inch of a Sunday?

Well, you're in luck, friend. I'll give you one good example of how to do just that. :)

I knew last night going into today that we would be on our toes and on the go-go-go for the bulk of the day, if not the whole entire thing. I was right on point; all I could do was take a deep breath as I scurried out the door in efforts to be on time for church choir.

There are, every so often, messages delivered by the pastor that stand out on a personal level and really hit home in a way that sends you home still reeling from the clear impact of what you just heard. Instead of that slightly unnerving sense of conviction that tends to pull on me in those catered-to-Cori messages, today's was enlightening, encouraging, and fueling. I left church feeling spiritually refreshed. It was certainly a good morning.

We bee-lined directly from church to a BW3 lunch outing with the Pages, Babots, Prescotts, Woods, Jason, and Jarod to celebrate Alex's birthday. Being the food-loving folks that we are, it was an excellent intro to the afternoon, complete with a Rudolph-iced cookie pizza. Alex claims that was Landon's doing, but we still say, hmmm.... :) Joking.

happy birthday, easton!

When the bellies were full and the bill was paid, we made a quick pitstop at home to change clothes and head back out to Vetta for little Easton's big 2nd birthday blowout. We spent a few hours there overseeing a hoard of running, screaming, bouncing, kicking children playing to the complete contentment of their little hearts. We settled down for about 45 minutes while everyone ate and Easton dug into his presents, and then made another stop at home to change, yet again, for the evening church service.

The regular church service was replaced tonight by the children's play. Major kudos to all the hands that were tasked with coordination and execution of the play; it went off without a hitch and we spent the evening awwing over adorable children prancing about dressed as angels and wisemen.

That, my friends, is how you cram a Sunday from top to bottom.
