We had a great Christmas at the Mack house. Christmas Eve, Ken, Marissa and Jake came over and we all went to Mass together. Reilly wore her beautiful party dress and looked gorgeous! After Mass we came back to the house for our usual appetizers and refreshments. The hit of the night was the Golden Cheesies, a recipe we got from our friend Paula many years ago. It's become a holiday favorite. A great time was had by all, and then Reilly settled down for a long winter's nap awaiting the arrival of that famous person, Santa.
Christmas morning Reilly was amazed and happy with all the presents under the tree. It was her best year for enjoying and playing with all her gifts. Her books were a great hit - she read quite a bit that day.
The very best gift of all is being with family. We are so grateful to have each other and our extended family and friends. Even though my sister and her family are far away they always feel close to us.
Now we are ending the old year and looking forward to the new, with new dreams and challenges for an even better year ahead. We thank each and every one of you for being part of our family and wish you all the very HAPPIEST NEW YEAR! May all your dreams come true!
Love, Mary Jane
