santa goes to my church

we took a break today from our crazy christmas baking extravaganza (which has now lasted several more days than initially anticipated) to remember the real meaning of christmas.

we put in our christmas finest,

ignored the blizzard warnings and the substantial layer of sleet that already covered the ground


climbed into the 4 wheel drive and headed to church. all went well until dad tried to adjust his parking.... and adventures were had...wheels were spinning, finally the car slid sideways so we could back back up the hill. the kids waiting for church in the car next to us had perhaps the best church ever. this of course gave us time to plot our next move. pictures with the manger.

nick got excited about cheese, wallace and grommet style.


I prayed with mary over the baby Jesus


did the church thing, bad homely, and then....SANTA. Im not sure what to make of this. church is supposed to be the reminder that jesus is the reason for the season. and then there's santa. at least he prayed over the baby jesus before going on his rounds for the night.
