Christmas Eve Mass 2014

Claire was in the pageant at Christmas Even Mass. She was a shepherd. The only girl shepherd. She wore her daddy’s costume from when he was younger that Aunt Cindy made for him. Alec will wear it when he is old enough to be in the pageant. Look for the red shoes in the crowd scenes.

Winter 2014 Solstice

We had our annual Solstice celebration in the backyard. It was a small gathering but still a great time. The photography was a little lacking . . .

He was the best dressed one there. He sang his little heart out. And hollered through some songs too.

Lights! Lights! Lights!

We went to a couple of spectacular light displays on the way home. Mommy’s camera was doing some crazy things but it made some pretty awesome pictures.

Someone was wasn’t as interested in the second light display. He was tuckered out after our big day.

Santa, I know him!

We went to see Santa! They were so excited and Santa was looking the best I have seen him in a long while. We made a special day of it and traveled miles to get there but everyone thought it was worth it!
