We had four different countdowns this year until the big day.... and it finally arrived!
Here's how it all went down:
Christmas Eve Morning we awoke to a nice breakfast, then suited up in our warmest gear for the annual hockey game at Joe's grandparents.
Maria tested out her new ice skates for the first time, and LOVED them! She didn't want to go inside! After only about 20 minutes, she was skating all by herself.
Then we roasted hot dogs and visited with some extended family.
In the evening, we went to mass to celebrate the reason for the season, then headed to grandma and grandpa's house for a nice supper and playtime with the cousins. We were so excited to have our newest cousin, Jackson, join us for his first Christmas!
The evening concluded with opening gifts, the highlight of the night for the youngsters!
Christmas day arrived...and so did Santa! The girls enjoyed opening their presents very much. Then we got ready and headed over to the other grandma and grandpa's house for a yummy lunch and more presents! (and lots of play time with auntie's kitty, Pandora)
It was an amazing Christmas, that of course went by way to fast. We are so blessed to have family so close to celebrate with (and enough room to store all the new toys! :)
Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas! Enjoy this Christmas season and Happy New Year!
