Nativity Recovery Expedition planned for later today. Will we find Baby Jesus, or is He gone in the midst of Barbies and horses? Tune in...

Happy 2nd Day of Christmas! Today the stockings had "just what I always wanted," according to 4yo. It was a basketball. She's daddy's girl.

As the sun starts heading down & our excitement starts gearing up for Midnight Mass, here's wishing you peace and joy. Merry Christmas!

Seized with fear while wrapping: realization that 4yo has claimed all the tape in the house (luckily had enough to get the presents done).

A morning of sweet rolls and Sound of Music and cuddling. He took the kids shopping "for the dogs" & now I must wrap!

Hope it wasn't false hope hubby gave me earlier. I do need him here early...mostly to protect a certain someone from my wrath. (No names.)

Is there a front coming through? Tell me there's a front coming through, that it's not just me and my kid...PAAHHLEEZE?!

4yo, while playing with the snowman nativity: "Mary, come quick, before the plane takes off."

It hasn't been a bad day, but if I'm not careful, the evening could spiral out of control. Time for a prayer break.

I never know what day or season it is. Just finished Jan. 10 bulletin, now planning a Lent Workshop. Christmas? When's that?
