Christmas Eve
For traditional Christmas Eve Mass we attended St. Francis with Mimi and Papa and the Reagens. Andrew and Nate were both missing because they weren’t feeling well.
Christmas Eve Eve Mass
For the past few years we have been going to Lutheran Church of Hope for most of our church visits. This year they had 10 Christmas Eve services. We went on Christmas Eve Eve and they did a terrific job. The production is out of this world and the messages and sermons are terrific. If you look closely at that first video you can see the snow falling from the rafters.
More Christmas Cookies
We made more Christmas cookies.
Lunch with Annie
Susan had coffee with a friend from grade school and high school this morning, which is also a good chance to dig up some photos from the past.
Solstice Spiral Walk
To celebrate the solstice, the Reagens hosted a spiral walk in their backyard. It was a beautiful evening and a good time was had by all. Special shout-out to Nate who quickly improvised some candles stands, and mother nature for bringing no wind.
Reagen Christmas Cookies
Lucia and Rose had a blast decorating Christmas cookies at the Reagens’.
