Snapshots of Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you all had a warm and happy Christmas. Here's some snapshots of how the McShane family celebrated this year.

 On Saturday night, James and I went to see Anne sing in her chorale. Very pretty (the music and Miss Annie).

This is the full view of the choir at the Basilica of St Mary in Minneapolis, MN. So pretty, especially at Christmas time.

 Cookie decorating on Christmas Eve. John Xenakis and Karen Coleman were over for lunch, so they helped us decorate the first couple, but we were on our own after that.

 Lady in her Christmas sweater. She loves the snow. You'd think it was created just for her to run around in.

 Dad, Emily, James, Me, Lady, and Mom in our Christmas Eve attire. We went to the 4:00 Children's choir mass and the music was terrible. Not because of the kids, mind you. Man alive, bad music is so much more distracting than good music.

 Christmas Sweaters! James, Lady and me during presents.

 Emily gives Lady a kiss. Cute mistletoe comment here.

 Snuggling with the puppy on Christmas Eve.

 Lady has a nap in the middle of the staircase on Christmas morning.

 Lady sees the whole world differently.

 Tyler and Emily wear their silly hats from the Christmas "poppers".

 My dad is the coolest.

So yeah, that was Christmas for us.
