We had a wonderful Christmas! Christmas Eve we got together with my family on my Dad's side. We all hung out and ate a wonderful dinner and plenty of sweets. It was really nice. We haven't done that on Christmas Eve in years. After that we all got dressed up and headed to 8 o clock mass. After mass it was home to bed for the little ones and then some work for Mommy and Daddy. ;)
The next morning the kiddos opened their gifts. They didn't get many from us but they all of them. Toby got a V Action, two Kung Fu Pandas, and a Buzz Lightyear (that he's talked about forever). Liliana got Dora the Snow Princess, a dinosaur set, Ming Ming, and a Fur Real Kitty (that's awesome). They haven't stopped playing with all their new things. After gifts NaNa, PapPap, and Uncle Dave came. We all hung out and opened a few more gifts until Godfather arrived. Godfather got special permissions to say Morning Mass for us at our house. It was so nice to celebrate the real reason for Christmas. Then it was on to the feast. David made the eggs and potatoes and I made the bacon and the pancakes. Huge. Amounts. Of. Food!
Later we all went to NaNa's and Greg's parents and Uncle came. There were even more presents! The kiddos and the big kiddos (that would be us) got VERY spoiled. Dinner was wonderful. The whole day was wonderful! Can't wait til next year!!!!
And because Greg does something awesome for me every year, he couldn't not this year. He made me a story to tie together his gifts. It was awesome he used power point and paint to create the book using pics of the kids. It was corny and adorable and I LOVED it!!! (If I can figure out how to post it I will) After I knew the story to my gifts, he gave me False Tongues and Sunday Bread (a Guatemalan cook book that I've wanted). Even better, He designed a pendant for me. He knew of a woman that made stained glass pendants, so he designed it and she made it. I LOVE it too! I also got a Thomas Kinkade print...it's beautiful. We made Daddy a slideshow for his new digital picture frame and it brought tears to his eyes....we did good! Hope you enjoy the pics!
