It was a wonderful Christmas! We were so blessed with plenty of family time, and relaxation. We went to early Mass on Christmas, and the kids still were smiling and happy to open gifts after taking pictures! William still has trouble with the flash, but we got a pretty good family photo. And, this is my Christmas morning photo dump. Because that is what we all want to see. The joy of each face. And how well my crew cleans up.
Second grade gifts are some of my favorites. I love things that the kids make at school.
Patrick loved his new jacket for school, and though the weather was quite warm, he was determined to wear it as much as possible. Warmest Christmas I can remember, as we went out in shorts later that day!
I tried my hand at making a gift. It's not perfect, by any means, but I think Emma will love having it on her wall. She chose the fabric.
This note came from Patrick, in a gift of chocolate popcorn, paid for by himself. My children NEVER write me note like this, but especially the almost teenager! I blubbed quite a bit when I saw this.
I love this photo. The aftermath, the silence, the joy.
