Yesterday we had our food pantry Christmas Distribution. We gave out over 90 baskets of food. When people arrived for their food they were able to enjoy pizza, pop and snacks provided by area stores and restaurants. Shop local folks, support those in your community who support those in your community.
Santa was also on hand passing out gifts to all the little kids. It was a great, busy, happy day.
While we were at the Food Pantry, Marissa went over to celebrate her brother's birthday. I met her there while Frank went to sing at Mass. When Frank got home, he and I left to go to his sister's for an open house.
Tonight our children, Tony and Nicole and Nicole's husband Pierre are coming for dinner. We will see them on Christmas Eve as well at Frank's brother's house but we try to have family dinner with just the kids each year during the holidays. This year it is just going to be them and Marissa. Amy's Dad came down this weekend and they are celebrating tonight by going to the new Star War's movie. Chuck did not get to come home this year and Jessica, Julien and the Angel Face are on a road trip to Florida.
Tomorrow we are running errands all day but should have a quiet night. Christmas Eve is spent with Frank's family at his brother's house before we have to leave for Midnight Mass. Christmas Day we host an open house.
Thursday and Friday we will be recuperating. Merry Christmas to all.........
