Christmas Pics

We had a fantastic Christmas. Sunday we had Christmas with my Dad's family at Grandma's House. It's not as crazy as when I was younger, but it was nice to see everyone. Then on Monday we hung out at our house until about 3:30. Then we went into NaNa's for dinner and then off to the Children's mass at 6:00. It was long but the children of the parish reenacted the Nativity story and the music was fantastic. Even though Toby was tired he was too engrossed with everything to go to sleep. After church we hung out at NaNa's, then it was home again to help Santa with the presents. On Christmas morning my Mom and Dad came out to see Toby experience his first Christmas. He came down stairs and immediately beelined for the presents. I swear he was through them all in .2 seconds and then it was on to putting them together. After playing and breakfast and getting cleaned up we went back to NaNa's so I could cook dinner and we could have Christmas again. Poor Toby was on Present overload and was unwrapping everything. He got a ton of cars, playschool racin ramps, Elmo's car garage, a farm, an 80 piece train set, a Mr. Potato Head, some puzzles, a guitar, and a big wheels. Greg and I also made out like bandits, so a big THANK YOU to everyone! Here are the pics from all of the above. i would have posted sooner but we hit the after Christmas Sales today. I swear Toby enjoyed that as much as opening everything yesterday. The pics are going to be in random order just so you're aware.

Sorry no pictures of the feast I made or of game time. I did have other pics of the kids opening their presents but they turned out blurry. Check Mom's blog in the side bar (probably in a few days since she's slower than me) for more pics. We really did enjoy Christmas and Toby had a blast. He loved unwrapping things. And he made out like crazy. it looks like a toy store threw up all over my living room. But isn't that the joy of Christmas is watching it through a child's eyes. Stay tuned for more pictures this week of us all dressed up at Eric's wedding. Love to all! Merry Christmas!
