Okay it’s a bit late but Christmas seems to be ongoing here. We actually have our beautiful REAL Christmas tree up still, today……..January 19! I love that tree and especially at night when we turn on the lights to add beauty to the family rosary. Also lit every night, are the porch lights which light up the yard and house so nicely. I’m having a hard time giving it all up this year! Wouldn’t the world be a better place if it was Christmas each and every day? Christmas brings out the best in everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that the joy carries on throughout this new year.
Full beautiful Mass at St. Leo’s 4:00 P.M. mass. Caleb was happy to serve!

Everyone was home this Christmas except for Jessi, Luke and the children. We missed them very much but are also happy for them now living in beautiful western South Dakota! The photo below is from their Christmas card taken out west.
Jessica, Shawn, Luke, Anya, Maura and Cael Dougherty. A South Dakota Christmas!
I’ve been pretty slack keeping up with the blog. I always thought I’d have more time for things once the children got older but that’s not the case with mothering! It’s great to be alive and healthy. Hope everyone has a good New Year. LIFE IS GOOD BY GOLLY.
