Our Christmas, in pictures

GIMH's wonderful in-laws generously invited us to to their Christmas Eve dinner

A little Christmas Eve music

What a great smiler!

No, we weren't letting them watch some suspenseful thriller. It was Sesame Street.

Christmas morning!

Lukie's new Cuse sweatshirt, which match his Cuse jammies.

Clara got stickers for Christmas.

Clara, bringing Baby Jesus a gift - a sticker. She said, "Here you go, Jesus."

My present to the kids. I started them a few days ago and finished very early this morning. Can you tell who they are?


They love them! I knew they would, since Clara begs me to play with breakable statues, which she hugs and kisses and calls every one "Jesus."

It was just our little family for Christmas today, so I made a big meal.

A rare shot of the four of us where everyone is sitting still.

And our Christmas card, outtake and all. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  1. I knew I could count on you to share your Christmas in photos. Love them. These photos of fellow Catholic Blogger Moms make me feel like it really is Christmas in the Little Domestic Churches dotted around our country. Thank you for keeping the true meaning of Christmas alive! What do you mean...you actually MADE those figurines? I can't stand it. Your creativity is so humbling!!!!

    Clara just continues to grow in faith, day by day, in such a sweet and natural way because of you! And, baby is the cutest button in the world. Merry Christmas!

  11. Please share how you made your statues (Our Lady of Guadalupe, Divine Mercy Jesus, St Therese of Lisieux and St. Maximilian Kolbe)!! I love them!

    Looks like your Christmas was beautiful and blessed!

  12. I thought the boys were watching the Jets/Giants game. Darn.

    Love how you consider your family "small," when most secular households would view it as the "perfect" size. Can't wait until you can blow them all out of the water with more and more kids ;)
