Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!!

Here are a few of my favorite christmas pictures, the rest is in backward chronological order-starting from Christmas night to Christams Eve day-I'm so bad at that!!! Anyway, here it is!!!





Christmas night was spent at Nana's with 30+ members of the family on her side. It was chaos, but fun. We had a great dinner-turkey, ham and all the fixins. The highlight of the night as always was the "dirty Santa" gift exchange. The gifts were great-and some really funny and the entertainment was uforgettable!!! We look forward to next year!!!

Christmas morning was at our house and Nana came over early to watch as all the excitement happened (Papa was out of town visiting his ailing mother). Aunt Gigi and Uncle Beak came over in time to see what Santa brought and to eat brunch with everyone.

Look at the wonder in those eyes!!




Nicholas with his new "big dog" sitting on his new "roller coaster"-which was the hit of Christmas morning












Christmas Eve-so quiet and calm








Christmas Eve night was spent at Pepka and Gigi's. Uncle Beak and Aunt GiGi were there along with Charles, Catherine, Brian and Jackson. We had a wonderful dinner, the kids roasted marshmallows on the deck (while Pepka and Gigi were setting up all of their presents). All of the kids toys were assembled and set up ready to go (which as a parent is great!!!) The kids played while the adults then exchanged gifts. The kids had fun and were so excited (in anticipation of Santa Claus).
