Merry Christmas

Last night was awesome! I went to the 5:30 Children's Mass (it started at 5:15 with the Christmas play which Sean was in) and sat with Patti and her family. After Mass I walked with Patti to her car and we gave each other the presents we bought. She got me Mistletoe Penguins (which are so adorable)! The card she got me and what she wrote inside really touched me! I'm thankful for such wonderful friends and people God has brought in my life! :)

I then went home for dinner and had to leave again for choir practice at 11 pm because we sang for Christmas Lessons and Carols & then the midnight Mass. Before practice Esther got in my car when she arrived and then we exchanged gifts. She got me a book called "Only One You".


My parents and brother went to the midnight Mass (my mom ended up getting a few pictures afterwards) so I introduced my brother to Diane and Esther...he also met Ruth (finally). :)

This is what Luke got for Mom


Last night Leslie and Kayla came over for dinner and then we watched a movie together (Fred Clause). It was so nice to see them both! I hadn't seen them in so long. (It's hard to believe Kayla is already 17...seems like yesterday my mom was babysitting her at 4 yrs. old).
