Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas at our house this year!!! We had such a great time doing fun activities, learning about the true meaning of Christmas, and getting ready for Santa to come. We started off Christmas Eve at my parents house.

Ethan and Ciara were Mary and Joseph this year

We then took a picture with all of the 7 grand kids!!!

Such an adorable little Christmas present our family recieved this year!

Then it was time to open our Christmas pajamas...

Ethan opened Iron Man pajamas

Then my two cute girls were next and they both opened....

Matching ballerina ones

Then it was off home to set out cookies, put out reindeer food, and get to sleep before Santa came.

The kids woke up so excited that Santa came during the night. Poor little Bella was woken up by some very excited kids! The kids got to walk down youngest to oldest to see what Santa left them and this is what they saw...

After a great Christmas morning we were off to my parents house for more presents and fun. We were able to talk with Kaylie, and then had tamales which Kaylie said is a Christmas tradition down there in Costa Rica.

Now the toys are put away and the Christmas decorations are down but the excitement is still in our house as the count down to next year begins.
