Marie Siobhan and Neil and Christmas Tree

This is our Christmas tree this year! Note Bermuda decoration at my right shoulder....

This picture is Rosie with her new ballet tutu finery from her Oma and Gramps for Hanukkah. Hope you like it!

Here's our Christmas tree. We had a little sledding party here on Gaudete Sunday with our friends the Towne family, then went to Hurd's Family Farm in Clintondale to cut down the tree.

And here are Dave and Max with the tree in its natural state, before we killed it for Christmas ;-)

Hope you are all having a joyous and blessed Advent in preparation for a Holy Christmas!

O King of nations, and their Desired, the Cornerstone who makes all one: come and save our race, whom you formed out of clay. (traditional "O" antiphon for the octave before Christmas)

Camera wedding pics

Hey! We finally developed the cameras and I'm posting some of the ones that came out. Most of them were not so good, without flash or of random statues or the backs of heads. Apparently some of the younger guests thought those would make good photos...
