Stardate 60981.77 - Christmas Eve

We got up bright and early this morning and drove to NJ in time for 0930 Mass, and then we visited a friend who is in the country for the holidays. Finally, we settled in at Cheryl's parents' place for the afternoon and the traditional Christmas Eve activities.

Loren loved playing around on the driveway with an old riding toy Bill brought up from the basement.

It was a balmy upper-50s outside, so we got to spend a little time in the fresh air.

Loren loved all her gifts, and even got us to read her new books to her.

Loren got her bath there and we changed her into PJs so we could transfer the sleeping baby from the car seat to the crib more easily.

We got back to the apartment late, and are now preparing for our drive to Virginia first thing in the morning. Lots still to do! Luckily she fell asleep in the car and made the transfer to the crib with no problem.
