Christmas

Looks like the "santa won't come this year" threats aren't going to work for awhile. Based on Sophie's "let's put it together now Daddy" line it was about 4pm before we finished opening presents.

A memorable exchange from Christmas acutally came the day before during mass. St Ignatius was packed for the children's mass and we were stuck up in the nosebleed section. A cute kid comes up with the collection basket during the offering for chrsitmas guilt money and shortly afterwards another kid a very Dirk Calloway Wes Anderson moment. Full on blue blazer with gold buttons and tie:

Kid: "You got any money"
Us: "Someone else was just up here collecting"
Kid: "That's not what I heard?"
Us: "Yeah we did... another boy just came up here and we gave him our money"
Kid: "I'm not a boy...I'm an usher (finger points to his nametage Usher Grant"


He dejectedly walks away and we are rolling.
