Christmas Eve

It was my turn to host Christmas Eve so that meant early church at Ave Maria.  We got there at 3pm for the 4pm mass and it was already full.  Mom and I had a seat, the girls went to the overflow room and the guys stood in the back.  Not quite what we wanted, but what can you do?  I will say that it was bloody hot and I didn't think I was going to make it through the mass. 

Everyone came over after church for our usual party fair.  Mitch and his family joined us as well. 

Cookie Day

Another cookie day in the books.  The girls were in charge of the sugar cookies.  Lynn and I did everything else.  We made way to many and with Mark gone there were lots of leftovers. 

Camp Christmas

They had a new event this year called Camp Christmas which basically is a historical look at how the holiday has been celebrated over the years.  A friend recommended we go and I managed to get tickets.  It was fun, but crowded and the girls didn't last too long.  I had planned on having a nice dinner after, but the teenagers were grumpy and hangry so I had to get them dinner fast.  Sonic it was.  Topped the evening off watching Elf. 

CATS

Years ago Lynn and I celebrated our high school graduation with a trip to New York City.  We saw our first Broadway show there.  It was CATS.  Today the movie CATS came out so I made sure we had a date to see it together.  It is kind of a different show, but we love the music and the memories.

Furbo

On Black Friday I gifted myself a Furbo and I'm having so much fun with it.  It is basically a camera and treat dispenser for the dogs.  I can talk to them and throw them treats from any location.  It was strange for them at first, but they have the hang of it now and know what is coming when they hear my voice.  Gotta love the night vision with Nala's one eye.  :)
