12/24/2008 Wed

朝からジョージが来ていて、海璃も何気なくいっしょに遊ぶ。二人のやり取りはコメディみたいで面白い。私はジャッキーといっしょにワインやら食器やらケーキやらのお買い物。夕方、イブの御ミサへ。カトリックでもない、ルーサランでもない、宗派の決まっていない教会は聖書そのもので、お話も分かりやすい。海璃のためにも自分のためにも、きちんと教会に通いたい。
ディナーはシャノンのお家でなんともパーフェクトなセッティング&お料理でした。蟹ももちろんおいしかったけど、ジョン(父)の作ったグリーンピースのスープもとろけるお味でした。素敵なクリスマスを送らせていただいております。

George came to John and Jacque’s in the morning. It is almost a comedy to watch how George and Amalie play together. I ran errands with Jacque. It’s very fun to do something with both John and Jacque.

In the evening, we went to Christmas Eve mass at their church. It’s nondenominational, and I found out that it is so easy to understand for me. It feels like I went back to kid’s Sunday school that I went to (Please, no offence). Both Ryan and I grew up going to church, so we would like Amalie to know there is God with her always. However, at the local church we go sometimes, I have felt disconnected with my lack of bible knowledge and difficult to understand almost archaic language--I should have studied hard when I was a student. I really wish we could take Amalie every week to this church. Well, one of Amalie’s Christmas gift from grandparents was a kid’s bible, so I can re-study with Amalie every night.

We had a very fine dinner at Shannon’s. She made it a perfect night with perfect setting. How does she do this with a busy boy and twins??? We are having very nice Christmas!
