It is so exciting to look forward to something as much as kids do. Saturday night, we put everyone's lists into the small treasure box that we just got for St. Nicholas. They all showed amazing restraint the next morning when they left everything untouched until everyone was home from Mass. Not only did St. Nicholas leave a note and chocolate coins as he always does, but he sent Gus, our Elf on the Shelf, back to watch and report.
Loads of chocolatey treasure
Cold weather came just in time for hot chocolate in our St. Nicholas mugs.
Beautiful artwork
Gus arrived on the mantle among the patron saints and Holy Family.
It was also a football day with a house full of fans.
