Happy Christmas Eve to all...we've had a good day of packing away all the decorations, cleaning upstairs and I made a salad and other treats to take tonight and tomorrow to Anne's.
Not going to have a White Christmas - yesterday, the forecast was anywhere from a light dusting to up to 5". But all went east of us, so....just a dreary day with a few sprinkles as we went to church.
There's just nothing quite like Christmas Eve Mass at Holy Trinity - we got there at 3:25 for 4:30 Mass - as usual, it was packed, the church was beautifully decorated with 12 trees lit up and many gorgeous red and white poinsettias The choir was superb along with trumpets and other brass instruments. WOW...... they sang and played from 3:30 on.
Mass lasted till 6:00 and then Connor came home with us to pick up food and presents. We had chili and hors d'oeuvres, played dominoes (Patrick won) and just a very nice family gathering.
Our handsome grandsons with Mom and Dad
...and with Grandma and Grandpa
The beautiful tree
The boys are just a tad excited.... imagine they are in bed now with visions of sugarplums
dancing in their heads?
