Merry Christmas!

We had mass Christmas Eve where Allia and Mariana sang with the children's choir. Allia's choir director gave her a quick lesson on organ, and she played one of her piano pieces as a prelude. She also cantered the psalm and sang a verse of the Communion Antiphon, as did Mariana. We were so proud of them. The mass was very beautiful, and we had a lot to be thankful for with everyone well and Pawpaw and Manah here for their first Christmas as locals!

This morning, Austin and Allia generously sang for mass again since they were short on musicians. The rest of us had a yummy pancake breakfast and headed to Pawpaw and Manah's to open gifts, where Daddy and Allia joined us.



Then we headed home to open the gifts Lito and Lita sent. We wish they could be here too!



We had a yummy lunch with pie and a birthday cake for Jesus after. Looking forward to continuing the celebration!
