My Sunday Best, Volume 86: Christmas Eve-Style!

Happy Christmas Eve!

We're finishing up our preparations for tomorrow - usually we get the house decorated on Christmas Eve, but we managed to do most of it yesterday because Andrew's gone all day today. The organist at the church he directs at has ELEVEN Masses to play over the course of this weekend and tomorrow, so I'm definitely feeling thankful Andrew isn't quite so committed! And thankful that my mom and sister are here to help out, because dealing with everyone alone right now is... not my idea of a good time. Behavior issues have been EXCESSIVE this month, to say the least.

I headed to Mass with my sister and a few of the other kids, and Edith sat in Aunt Sister's lap until all the way through the homily! Which meant I was dealing with a very grumpy Elizabeth, but... still better than the squirmy baby. We were confused at first, because the readings were for the Christmas Vigil, but apparently in the Extraordinary Form if Christmas is on a Monday, the vigil happens the morning beforehand? I'm still a little confused... Advent was weird this year. At least I'm done Christmas shopping!

Just a few ground rules before you link up:

1. Please include a photo of what you wore to church this week.
