Today was Christmas with my mother-in-law’s side of the family. To ease hosting stress on Grandma and Grandpa, the celebration was moved to a larger location. Yes, we did play Bingo–and I won a round. I want to join Jeremy’s grandma sometime when the real ladies play Bingo. I hear they’re a tough crowd!

I wish the photos of Livia and a large Nativity set (the size of kid’s outdoor playhouse) came out decently enough to share. Liv was fascinated with it and spend much of our lunch spreading hay on the sheep or hugging the shepherd within reach.

I was enjoying a delicious bowl of clam chowder when Livia walked over and told me, “Mary asked if I could come in the barn. No or yes?”

I said, “Tell Mary your Mommy said no.” Mary asked… ha! Liv sounds a bit like a little Rebecca with that trick.
