Happy Boxing Day!

It's been a very nice Christmas. We continued with our streak of not going to Mass on Christmas Eve, this year it was the twins who both had a sinus infection. (The streak stands at 6 yrs now) No reason to take them to Mass, and even though Nana was with us to babysit, we came home after Marilyn's. When kids are sick, Mom can't be gone too long. But, we did have a very spiritual sing along at Marilyn's, so I am counting that as our Mass!

On Christmas Day we had all the grandparents with us, which was a lot of fun. Today is the catch up day, we are playing with all the new toys and trying to put the house back together. Hope your Christmas was wonderful as well!

Sounds like a perfect day! : )

We didn't go to Mass either because we go to church with Doug's folks (RUMC). The kids were surprisingly not horrible.

Steph- RUMC = close enough! Glad the kids were good. We are planning on going tomorrow, I really want them to see the Nativity, and I want to hear Fr Frank as much as I can before he leaves.
