Christmas Eve Service in Williamson

 The Christmas Eve Church service at the Methodist Church in Williamson is our new favorite.  Beautiful music, lots of participation by the children, bell ringers and a really friendly congregation.  Here Grandpa Mike holds baby Lily who attends for the first time.

The church is always beautifully decorated with a tree of course and lots of beautiful poinsettas.

The bell ringers are always a favorite

Christmas in Wolcott, Part 2

Christmas Eve dinner was held at my daughter Barbara's house.

With a traditional baked ham.

Dominic decided to dress in his Power Rangers costume for the occasion.

Then the family headed to Williamson for the Christmas Eve service...our favorite.

Dominic did his best to behave.

The presents are beginning to pile up under the tree at my house where we had Christmas Day Dinner.

Followed by a trip to my Grandaughter Christine's house in Williamson to watch the children open their giftsCarlos couldn't resist trying on Dominic's Rudolph hat.

Still more gifts for under the tree.

Then the children were turned loose.

And what did I get? This adorable fan for one thing.

Christmas 2011 in Wolcott, Part 1

The house is cleaned (more or less) and the tree is up and trimmed. Well, ok, its a small fake tree which was pre-decorated. But its the point isn't it?

My poor cat is so exhausted from all this activity that she is sleeping with her head off the chair.
