Christmas Part 2...

Christmas Part 2 consisted of Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.  This year was definitely more enjoyable with the kids since they seemed to "get it" a little more.  We began the Elf on the Shelf tradition which quickly became Joe's responsibility while I was taking care of Emma every morning (ask him what his opinion is of Mr. Elf).  The kids named him Isaac but couldn't grasp the concept of him being an Elf so they would always refer to him as Santa...hey, whatever works right?!  Here were a few of "Santa's" favorite spots to watch the kids.

On Christmas Eve, Uncle Tommy gave the kids their gift from him...a roller coaster!  They had a blast on it!

Our Little Chunkster!

Ava couldn't get enough

Perfect toy for the dare devil himself!

Christmas morning was a lot of fun this year to see the kids reaction to "Santa's visit"!

Ava loved her hair and makeup set

It's all about the trains...

...and tractors!

For Christmas dinner we headed over to Joe's families house and had a traditional Italian meal.  The kids were once again spoiled with gifts!

Yet, again thank you for all the wonderful gifts from Nana, Papa, Uncle and Aunts!  Our children are so blessed to have so many people in their lives that think about them...and spoil them rotten!
