Mommy was actually the first one up! Just how she wanted - time to prepare the birthday breakfast before everyone got up. It was cold... about 20 C with a fairly strong breeze, so it was tough to keep it warm till everyone was ready to eat :o)
Then we had just enough time to get ready and go to church: A meditative celebration with pictures for the Christmas story from all around the world, and a potluck lunch all together. Then a bike home with anticipation for the time-together presents we had planned.
On the way home, some guys on a motorbike came by and snatched Mommy's bag. Bye-bye iPhone, wallet, house keys, etc. And Christmas afternoon suddenly looked rather different than anticipated as we had to think through what had to be cancelled, replaced, done without ....
But we did get to the science experiments, cracker-house making (in place of gingerbread!), learning to bike with no training wheels as planned though - just a little subdued.
Hopefully a happier post tomorrow :o/
