Well, Kara and Wes had Sebastian baptized at Mom and Dad's chruch (First Methodist next to Wesleyan) on Sunday. We ended up going to early service at our church, because Brian and I sang with the adult choir (they sang something from Handel's "Messiah" that Brian and I wanted to sing), then the kids went to part of Sunday school then we ran up to First Methodist for their late service. The kids got to leave during part of the service and do Sunday school at the Methodist church. They pull the kids out during the service after the children's sermon and they do a craft and play a game, then they came back for the baptism. They had fun. They made a little Mary, Joseph and Jesus out of thread spools that are now under their little Christmas trees.

Sebastian was a good boy during church and his baptism. After church, we had our big Thanksgiving lunch with the Hoefs. Eveyrone, kids and adults, took a nap at mom and dad's after lunch. We finally trudged home in the afternoon, feeling tired and full. We fed the kids a little dinner of scrambled eggs and grapes and had movie night, then went to bed early. It was a long day, but everyone had fun.
