Merry Christmas!

Hello all!

To borrow a line from Rocco at Whispers in the Loggia blogspot:

Christus natus est pro nobis---venite adoremus!

Sorry about the delay over the weekend. I got rushed and was busy busy busy. Dad, Mom and Uncle John came over about 8:45 pm last night. Had a nice visit, went to Midnight Mass, then to the party in the school afterward. Finally fell asleep about 3:45 am. Was up at 8 am this morning and made waffles for breakfast.

Auntie Katie and Uncle Kent called this morning and said they couldn't make it for dinner. Uncle Kent was coughing a bit much and it was storming up in Kentucky. Since it's been raining for two days, I guess the dampness the best of Uncle Kent. So instead of having dinner at 12:30, we set it for 2:30. Opened presents afterward, had dessert and they left about 5 pm.

Since then, I've been mostly a couch potato. I did put everything away and get the dishes done.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day! Here are some pics from recent days...

Here's the outside of 1224...not a lot, but the only one with lights on the block!


Here's the dinner table this afternoon. Ham, cranberries, relish tray, corn casserole, sauerkraut, Lithuanian winter salad, sweet potatoes, green beans, horseradish, bread and butter...mmm!!



My nativity set on the mantle.


My Christmas tree.

I'll have some more pictures tomorrow. I want to go back to church and take pics. The poinsettias were great this year and for a two hour decorating time, it looks great!

Again let me wish all of you a most Blessed Christmas! A big hello to Ryan, Dave, Rich, LLW and Lindsay and family in England.

Well, it's after 10 pm, and I am ready to take a long sleep. Catch you all tomorrow!
