Christmas

Merry Christmas !
We went to the most beautiful service on Christmas Eve, 7pm, the kids were good too ! The church school's kids sang some beautiful carols (not really traditional) and there was a beautiful spirit filling the place. Really quite nice.
Christmas morning the kids slept in a little (till 7ish) and Ava came and got us and was squealing with delight at all the presents. James made out pretty well, and since Ava doesn't seem to handle that very well always, James and I stealthily opened his presents while Ava went to town on hers.
Thank you so much to everyone, really, for everything. The toys all are played with and the clothes are being washed (right now actually) so they can be worn. (little mermaid unders? who knew?!)
Attached are a couple of pics from the day. We kept it pretty quiet, and after the hubub of the am moved a bit more from the apartment. Not too much more now!
Love to all,
Ang
