Christmas Highlights



@@ Having to go to a second store to food shop because I had forgotten something important at the first one, and finding *just the thing* I needed for dh's stocking.

@@ For the first time ever, we had no one crying, no one sick, no one sleeping or cranky or too young to enjoy  our annual Christmas Tree Lights tour.  They even spontaneously sang Christmas carols and enjoyed each other's company. First. time. ever. *happy sigh*

@@ Getting a high powered Dust Buster from dh. Call me practical, but I love a tool that *works*.

@@ Jeffrey staying up late and "helping" dh and I open our gifts to each other.

@@ No one woke up last night in pain or crying  (morning was another story)

@@ Finding a hawk's nest in the backyard!

@@ Jeffrey all handsome in his navy wool coat, and the girls beautiful in their dresses.  Finding tights that (almost) fit Maggie that matched the dress she wanted to wear at the last minute.

@@ Hearing child after child say, "Thank you Mom!" "Thank you Mom!"

@@ At the pinnacle of a long and random seeming Mass, hearing the priest say "Behold the Lamb of God".
 Behold! The Babe is here.

 Indeed.

Merry Christmas everyone!
