Christmas Eve
This is our beautiful Briella first thing in the morning. She has the best hair in the morning, it reminds us of that Pampers commercial of all the babies waking up with awesome hair. (I think it's called "Beautiful Mornings" with the song "I feel pretty") Every time we see that commercial we think of Briella and chuckle. :)
Here's the commercial
This is Connor and I breaking the wish bone. Yes, we forgot about it. So it was VERY dry. :)
He knew exactly what to do and knew he needed to make a wish.
Guess who won??!!!
Our dear friend, who we claim as family, Linda Kuck joined us for the evening festivities. We had our traditional Italian Christmas dinner of manicotti, Christmas jello (red, white and green), homemade rolls, broccoli and homemade apple pie for dessert. (Yum!!) Then we read the Christmas story and acted out the Nativity. Connor was a wise man, Linda was a shepard, Matt was Joseph, I was Mary, and Briella was an angel. It was fun! Then we each opened one gift.
Christmas morning
Briella LOVED her baby she got from Santa. It makes sounds and everything - I don't think Santa realized that beforehand. :)
The kids got a fort making set from Santa. It's pretty big - it will be great in our new (spacious) house!
Connor and Briella playing with Noah's ark Briella got from Grandma Jan and Papa Steve. They both love it!
Briella and Daddy taking a morning nap.
All that fun tuckered them out! :)
Later that day we went over to the Kingery's house for some games and to let the kids play. They have a great backyard for the kids to run around in. It was fun getting together with friends especially since we are so far away from family. :( I missed our extended families this year.
Merry Christmas!!!
