Car Free in Raleigh

We enjoyed a nice holiday with my parents, who came down from Pittsburgh. It was strange to have access to a car for several days in a row.

We went to a lovely Christmas Eve vigil mass, although we would have preferred Midnight Mass. But, having a toddler and lacking our own car, we made do with the 5:30 alternative. Which, after wrestling a toddler into fancy clothes, was actually quite enjoyable.

We came home and I realized that I’d overcooked the lamb (which was somehow still good) and then dumped the blueberry pie on the inside of the oven (not edible). But the roasted veggies, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all survived.

Christmas morning, we opened presents, then loaded up Malachy in his little red wagon for a walk to the park.
