December 25th

Daddy had to work on December 25th so we carried on as if it were any other Sunday here at the Hassler house.

Mommy, Claire and Alec went to Mass with Grandma & Pa to celebrate Jesus’s birthday as should be done on Christmas.

Then we came home and just played and had a good time until Grammy, Gramps, Aiy Aiy and Thor came over to play and have French dip sandwiches.
