Christmas - Feast of the Holy Family

 +JMJ+

During Christmas break Rosie, Eleanor and I went to see the new Spider-Man movie.

I can see our outdoor Nativity set from my bed.

A Winter Wonderland.
We finally had snow to stay.

I gave Eleanor a second microphone for her singing machine.

Marigold and Poppy are checking it out.

I got a coffee/hot chocolate set for Christmas.

When the mug gets hot the ring appears on the finger.

In the process of making our loft larger to accommodate more bookshelves.

The Nativity set at our Church.

Baby Cassandra has learned to army crawl.


She's a happy little girl.



On Epiphany, Pippin made Kings' Cake. Merry found the baby.

Our extended family part was on the eight. The day before I was asked to run the gift exchange. 



Little kids duck, duck, gift exchange.

I realized I had forgotten to take any pictures of Marigold at this point. She was busy stretching.

The lighting is really bad in these next couple of pictures. We found a Johnny Jump-up for Goldilocks. She loves it.



Cassandra gave it a try and was delighted.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy Epiphany!

 

After sleeping in a trundle bed for almost two years I've finally got a bedstead.

Setting up Christmas decorations.



Galadriel brought baby Goldilocks down for St. Nickolas day.

Midnight Mass.











Afterwards we had a little social.







Look, I got a cup just like grandpa.
