Wednesday nights equals movie nights on the Advent Calendar. My plan was for Elianna to take an early bath, get dressed for bed and then we would eat dinner and watch our movie. While she was in the bath, our neighbor came by and talked for about 30 minutes leaving me a little behind in dinner prep. Then just as soon as I started to make dinner (again), the doorbell ring and it was the neighbor's husband needing a ride to pick up his truck. Thankfully my not so healthy dinner of tortellini and corn didn't take long to make.
We watched The Nativity Story which I did not realize would be hard for Elianna to understand. I think part of it was their thick accents. She asked all kinds of questions ranging from wanting a play by play of what was going on to how baby Jesus was born. Thankfully 5 year old attention spans are on the short side so no big explanation was necessary.
I also didn't realize they included Herod killing on the young children/babies, so right after baby Jesus was born, the movie "ended". It truly was a good way to end.
There are also no pictures because Chris had my phone since his phone is a goner. About 2-1/2 weeks ago he accidentally shut it in the car door (after it was already cracked) and now it has no button and turns pretty shades of purple. We ordered some new phones but they've been on backorder for the past week and a half. Here's to hoping they actually come in today.
Happy birthday baby Jesus!
