Anyway our Christmas Day ( after all Christmas has now just begun) was great. We went to midnight Mass and it was really beautiful. They said the Mass with the lights dim the whole time and the alter was lit by all sorts of Christmas lights. It really made you feel the birth of Christ once again.
Needless to say, we didn't get to bed until around 2 am on Christmas Eve, but the babies slept in so we all got enough sleep to get us through the day. Felicity didn't wake up until 10am and I had to go and wake up Benedict at 11am. He probably would have slept a few more hours! He has been so tired out by all the happenings. This morning they are both still asleep.
Ben enjoyed opening his gifts, though he wasn't much into the ripping things apart. He was more concerned with throwing away the trash ( wrapping paper). His favorite gifts this year were a Thomas the Train set and Mr. Potato Head.
I am glad that Christmas is celebrated for an octave and more! Christmas day passes so quickly and we get so caught up in running from one place to another that there isn't enough time to really enjoy it, let alone time to consider what it is we are celebrating. The Church is very smart in her celebrations!
Felicity (again)
Lol. The tape measure....
Felicity kept screaming and making her little cousin cry.
I know Ben is blurry but it was to cute not to post. He loves to rub her head.
He was very excited about this vacuum.
Well there will be more Christmas pictures to come I hope, as we move through the octave!
