  • A Christmas Eve Memory

    Right about this time last year, after getting everyone else ready for Christmas Eve Mass, I put my five day old baby on the couch to change him one more time before we left. The little dear let loose as soon as I took off his diaper, all over my skirt and his outfit! Of
