…for replacing the digital camera!  Woo hoo!   Here are the highlights of our Christmas. 

We went to mass early which made for a reeeeally short night.  Aidan was St. Joseph in the procession which apparently seemed like a much better idea last month when he agreed to do so. It seemed a particularly unwise commitment at 11pm the night before when St. Joe’s robe was nowhere to be found. Ack.  Mama was operating with very little sleep and decided that since St. Francis and St. Joseph had very similar taste an acceptable wardrobe substitution could be made. Say nothing. ; )

Here is Aidan before the procession.  He looks much less likely to vomit than he would ten minutes later. Stagefright. Not a good thing.  He overcame however and escorted Mary to and from church without embarassing his mother disaster.

We came so close to photographing the children while they were still clean and dressed this year. Got all but one this time! (and there is one missing) They are darn cute anyway:

Moira in her Converse hightops.  Trust me – they suit her. 🙂

Tess was a bit skeptical about her gifts.  I really hadn’t anticipated her being very interested at all. Turns out she was. And very interested in Brendan’s gifts as well. In fact she stood guard over a few of them yelling NOOOOOOOO! at the top of her lungs. Who knew?  Her favorites were Moira’s dollhouse people though. She stood them up gently and hugged them repeatedly.

Hope you had a lovely day as well!
