As our Christmas began, we had a great Christmas, with much joy and great memories. We had a much busier Christmas Eve than ususal because we woke up to a SNOW STORM! Could not believe it, so instead of lounging around, taking it easy cleaning up as a family, 1/2 the family was outdoor shoveling while me and the younger 1/2 was indoors doing all the clean up but we all finished just in time for a nice lunch and power nap! We woke and I began dinner, we has a nice fried fish dinner and relax time before we started dressing for midnight Mass. The outfits worked so nicely without fuss from me this year, since we were on a pretty tight budget, as it seems we are on every year, since the bulk of Steve's work is great in the summer, my funds went to Christmas and not clothes, but I was pleasantly surprised going through the children's clothes I save for them to find 3 very nice velvet dresses for the little girls, the boys we put together nice pants and vests and the big girls came up in very nice outfits...so yeah for us. haha. Sometimes I make it look just way too easy, its just some sort of dumb luck or something, kidding!!!!
Mass was beautiful, Tony was the only one that fell asleep and Gwena the last five minutes. It was very beautiful and the church looked super beautiful. We went to the church basement for a great meal before heading home. We had went a little driving for Christmas light sight seeing but with the snow and road conditions it was just a few blocks in the neighborhood of the church, but great to get home and get all snuggled in for our children's Christmas.
ps...sometimes it takes a bit of time to finally catch the spirit of Christmas in the little ones, lets just say taking pictures of Gwena was a little fun this year. haha
