The scene is set..Bring on Santa!

Christmas eve did not go as we had planned . We had to miss the post-church service Christmas party at our friends, the Asher's house, since neither Mike nor I was feeling well. In stead, we came home from church , got into our Christmas eve pajamas and watced "Finding Nemo" . ( Can you guess who chose the movie?). While it wasn't what we had set out to do, it was really quite perfect:

Mack all set for church. She got to wear the cross necklace Grammy gave her at her baptism. She was excited and insisted that Mike and I wear our crosses, too:
Here we are in our Christmas pajamas:
Mike took Mack to the store when he picked out mine. She could hardly wait for me to get them on:
With fully bellies and drooping, tired eyes ( for one of us) we decided it was time to set the scene for Santa:

Mack writing her Santa letter:

With Baby Jesus placed snugly in the cradle:
and cookies and milk at the ready, Santa could come any time!
