Today was a real holiday for me with absolutely no responsibilities. I’m too far away from home to be able to take care of that stuff-so I’m forced to relax and do very little. There isn’t much I can do for Karen and Tim in the couple of days we are here so it’s just good family time and good eats.
Tim started us off today with waffles and bacon. We took turns watching and playing with Sophie. Tim cooked up a batch of ham and bean soup. It spent all day in their crock-pot. We just had it for dinner and Yum! It was good!
We also did Christmas Mass this evening. It was the church’s children’s mass. The children dressed as angels and shepherds acted out the gospel reading as the priest read. It was a neat way to do it. The kids didn’t have to recite any lines. It fit right into the mass instead of adding to it time-wise and the kids had their special moment to remember. At the end of mass the angels and shepherds joined the procession out of the church. The littlest angel was having trouble with her wings and stepping on her dress—cute and appropriate.
After church we went back to the park we hit yesterday and took some family pictures.

The last thing Karen did before putting Sophie to bed was read her “Twas the Night Before Christmas”.
Tonight there is a promise of peanut butter and pumpkin pies.
