Christmas pics coming soon, but for now I wanted to talk about Mara AnnMarie's Baptism Day. What a wonderful day we had. Nona Donna & Great Grandma & Grandpa Joanne & Don celebrated with Heather, Sean, Godparents Auntie Katy, Auntie Bethanie and Uncle Josh. Auntie Whitney, Uncle Barry, Claire, Max, Brody, Maverick, GG, Aunt Sue, Aunt Julie, Great Grandma & Grandpa Camilla & Don, Papa and me were there watching with joy. Her Baptism took place during Christmas Day Mass. What a special blessing! The music and the message were such a wonderful Christmas Gift! We had warm cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit afterward. Then we had Dumpling Soup for lunch at the farm and the kids opened their stocking gifts from Santa.
On the other side of that coin - the holidays can be so melancholy. You plan and plan and shop for just the right thing and bake and cook up a storm. Then in a flash, it is all over, and melancholy. Papa and I are always so sad to see them all leave at the end of the day. And yet we are tired and relieved, ready for a hot meal, a hot bath and a veg out on the couch with an old romance video. Hope you are finding ways to deal with your own holiday melancholy.
We are heading out tomorrow for a mini-vacation - no kids in daycare the rest of the week!! We are excited and yet will miss the little buggers by Saturday! We are celebrating our family Christmas on Saturday! More fun!
Merry Christmas 2012!
