December 2025

 

we will begin with the Lego League competition.

We are a musical family but somehow Mike and I have never made it the the WCHS Madrigals before 2025.  Becca was the cutes of the bar winches!

St. Pat's had their annual Christmas concert.  Since I'm up in the balcony with the 4th grades, Mike took all the pictures.  Cecilia proudly sits in the trombone section.

Mary singing her heart out.

George and Mike enjoying the music.

The high school also had a concert.  Becca is one of the blond girls wearing black.

We had to pick out the tree.

Some day, the girls will be too big to climb up their father but I don't think they know that yet.

Patrick came home from KS just in time for us to leave for South Bend.

No one was happier to see him than Mary.

We made our annual pilgrimage to South Bend to see the Sullivan clan.  Becca saw Notre Campus a little differently this year after applying.  Mike had to show her the Hand of God tree.

The kids decided to decorate my aunt's dinning room.  I love how all this kids who only see each other once a year just hang out and have a blast.

Mary also joined a children's choir for Christmas Eve Mass.  She even was picked to cantor.

After having Christmas morning at home, we went south to see the Hattons.  Teenagers can fall asleep anywhere.

Cecilia and I accidently twined...again.

We were able to get a picture before Patrick had to leave to get back to work.

And the end of the month, Becca decided it was time to say. good bye to long hair.

She donated it.

And was extremely happy with her decision.
