Christmas Like Stuff

We failed to take the camera out at both family gatherings and Christmas morning but here are what we got.  We went to a Christmas potluck where Jude and Lia checked out the tree and Nativity scene.


Pia and Lia.

Patrick asked to sit with his buddy Ellie and he chatted up one of the teachers.


Santa also came, read a story to the kids and they asked what they wanted.

Patrick asked for a travel pillow, which Santa brought a little so that he could have it on the trip to South Bend.


George asked Santa for a Christmas card.  He was very excited to get a Play-mobile helicopter instead.

Becca asked Santa for three surprises, but Mom knew what she wanted.
Ellie was smart and wrote out a little book cataloging what she wanted.


Lia and Rose running around together.
 

Later that week the kids had their Christmas concert.  Here Pat singing his heart out.

2nd grade back stage.

 They had a grand finale with the whole school singing "I'm dreaming of a mustache Christmas".

We also made the annual trek to South Bend to see the Sullivan family.  Here's a nice picture of Lauren, myself, Teresa, and Lia.

 It was all too much partying for George.


















As I said, we failed to take out our camera for the gift giving.  These pictures from South Bend are from my cousin.  The kids cleaned up again this Christmas with many Lego sets and various My Little Pony toys.  We hope you feel as blessed as we this season and continue to do so.
