We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas Eve and Day at Anne, Patrick, Liam and Connor's home! 4:30 Mass at Holy Trinity was jam packed but what a beautiful celebration with the stunning decorations, fantastic musicians and inspiring liturgy.
Enjoyed yummy appetizers afterwards, watched "Elf" and then got the boys off to dreamland.

Christmas Day was beautiful - temps in the upper 40's with all sunshine! Boys were up by 6:30ish and then wearing our jammies and robes, and enjoying mugs of coffee, tea and hot chocolate, we gathered around the beautiful tree and the dismantling, mayhem and fun began!!!

After the gifts were open, we had a delicious breakfast followed by the boys playing with their gifts....."what shall I play with first"????
We adults played several games of euchre, snacked in the afternoon and then a big ham dinner with all the trimmings. After dinner we did face time with all the kiddos in NC and FL.
Said our good byes and big thanks for a great Christmas 2015.
Some final pics before we left
Hope you all had a very happy day and Santa treated you well!
