Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas from the Tighe family! So far for the day…waking up late, Molly skipping breakfast, getting to Mass early, beautiful Christmas Day Mass, revisiting breakfast with Molly, Carlisle’s on the way, Christmas music playing, windows open to grey but warm skies with a chance of rain, and presents still waiting to be opened!
 
More later!

Fun Things Today

Molly…
Helped us decorate the house for Christmas
Was fantastic when we went out for lunch. Ate some yogurt before our meals came. Fell asleep on the ride home, stayed asleep all the way up to the stairs, and went to bed immediately. 
Had a very fun walk on campus…
