I love this day, it is one of my favorite all year. There is so much magic in the air and peace and joy seem to be radiating from all corners of the world.
Today we took it easy.
We started the morning off making egg nog cookies for Santa. They also are Daddy's and Aunt B's favorites so it is a win win win when we make them. Plus the boys have a blast which is always a win for momma!
The boys and I headed to Walmart to pick up the Happy Birthday Jesus cookie cake. I think next year I am going to try to make it myself, we will see. While we were there John Michael asked for dohgnuts, and since it is Christmastime well I went with it. He really wanted the ones with mistletoe (Holly) on them. So that is what we got.
We came home and picked up Brandon and mom and headed to Mass. The boys are singing in the choir again this year. I love the Children's choir all year, but on Christmas Eve it is so amazing. It is truly like listening to angels sing. I guess this is another reason why they say Children are as close to Jesus as you can get. Mary Morgan sang a solo and the girl gave me chills. Liz, I know that you have to be so very proud of her. Her voice is truly a gift that she was given and I am glad that she is brave enough to share it, that was a gift.
The Church was decorated beautiful. I love seeing the transformation from Advent to Christmas. Again just a little more magic (and a lot of hard work) to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Uncle Kenny and Uncle Patrick came to Mass, which was nice. Thank you both, it is always nice to be with family this time of the year. Well, all year, but this time especially.
After Mass we went to look at Christmas lights and then headed home. We were all tired and needed to get in bed before Santa flew over.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
