Justin's sister, brother-in-law, and other niece arrived on Christmas Eve in time to take a nap, go to mass, eat a Spanish tapas meal of cheese, dip, bread, olives and wine and then start opening the family presents. It was so nice to have the family together to celebrate! And O was a champ at mass. Other kids were taken out for misbehaving but she sat there and took all the singing and praying in. We could not have asked for a better Christmas this year.
Christmas Eve. Squatty, our tree, is ready for all the presents to be opened. I am happy to report that he is alive and well and no ornaments were lost this year.
Churched up, well fed and now ready to open some presents.
Olivia, the youngest, gets to open her present first. Let's just say she opened more presents than anyone.
Sitting patiently on the couch with Aunt Sarah and Mary Ann as others get their turn to open presents.
Anna gave her cousin, Baby Dos, a Rome soccer jersey. Based on the size of my belly, it looks like it already fits!
Christmas morning. Santa has arrived!
O's #1 present??? A Belle Barbie. She woke up asking if Santa had brought it for her.
O immediately started playing with her Disney Princess dolls.
The start of Christmas dinner. Props to myself and Justin again for cooking a turkey and all the fixings with absolutely no phone call before to my parents asking for help and reassurance.
