Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was wonderful! We went to the Children's Mass Christmas Eve at Saint Brigid. My parents joined us for Mass, and then we went out to dinner at Olive Garden. YUM! 

It was very important for me to be home Christmas Eve to begin a new tradition for our little family of four, and to wake up and have our Christmas morning before going anywhere! 

For Christmas Eve, Greg and Maria had a very special present to open. Inside their package was new jammies to wear, 2 new Christmas books, a new Christmas movie (The Polar Express), 2 Christmas cups, 2 Christmas bowls, popcorn, and hot chocolate! They were super excited! 
 Opening up the present! 
 Checking out the new jammies! 
 He loved his jammies! 

We then quickly headed to take a bath and get our Christmas Party started! 
 Clean and ready to go! 
 Reading their new books while waiting for Mommy to make the popcorn and hot chocolate! 
 Watching The Polar Express

And then...
 SANTA came! 
And he left a note... 

The kids had a great time opening presents in the morning. It was more fun now that Greg was able to understand Christmas a little more this year. He found baby Jesus and put him in the manger...and we sang Happy Birthday, Jesus about 1 million times! 

After presents at our house, we went to my parents' house for the remainder of the day. We opened presents and ate tons of yummy food. Greg's parents were on vacation, so we didn't get to see them Christmas day. We celebrated Christmas with his family last weekend and it was tons of fun, too!  We are beyond bless. This whole Advent and Christmas season was so much fun, and brought so much joy to our lives!
