Well, I'm sitting here working on using my December TSR kit - I have my most recent Christmas pics sitting in front of me, so I thought I would share a few!
Alainna had the honor of bringing up baby Jesus at the 4:30 mass at Blessed Sacrament. When we told her Father Schrad asked her if she would do it, she put her hands to her face in delight and answered a resounding "yes!" I was the cantor, so Eric walked up with Alainna at the beginning of mass - she didn't miss a beat! And she also waved to all her fans - including Mommy. Luckily, my friend, Ann, had a front row seat and offered to take pictures - I don't know how appropriate it would have been for me to stop the opening song in order to snap some pics. :>
We had Christmas Eve dinner at my parents' house - Brian, Ellen, Dan, Nikki, Mickie, Eric, me and the kids, as well as Mickie feasted on a Little Chicago Deli sub and soup - yummy.
The big present from my folks - next to a weekend of babysitting so Eric and I can get away - was tickets to see the Elmo show when it comes to town next month. Of course, Jack and Will didn't understand, but Alainna got it.
After all the presents were opened, I tried to get the three kiddos to pose in front of the tree. HA! Good luck, right? Well, Jack and Alainna started wrestling, which made Will want to join in the fun - with Mom snapping away, of course!
