Christmas Catch Up

We had an amazing Christmas as a family of 6.  We celebrated with mom and dad the weekend before Christmas since they spent Christmas with Kit and her family in Tennessee.  The kids loved getting their presents and mom and dad nailed it, as usual!

Christmas Eve we went to Mass at our church at 4:00 with Grandmom.  We then all headed home for a nice dinner (cooked by Ted!) and some fun with Grandmom, who spent the night with us.  And we were all so excited to see that SANTA CAME, even though we had been threatening coal and ashes due to bad behavior!!  The kids were so excited and it was like pulling teeth to get them toe wait until after 6 AM to go downstairs!  ALthough there was still some usual CHristmas chaos, this year was much better than in years past.  The kids actually played with their toys and wasn't going from one thing to the next.  I loved watching their excitement and seeing what they wanted to play with first.  For lunch we went over to Uncle Bill and Aunt Barbara's house so I could see a little bit of my family!  We loved hanging out with them and Hank, who is such a kid at heart, was great with my older three.  Maggie was her usual wonderful self and loved meeting more of her family!
