Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year.  It was different but so much fun and great family time.  To start the differences Matt's family was all out of town witch left only our little family and my extend family.  Instead of our normal Christmas eve at Matt's grandfather we headed over to my Grandma Karen's (who moved back here this summer).  She prepared a yummy yummy dinner for us a adults and according to Serafina "The best ever kid dinner."  We had a great time there, she had a whole art center setup for the kids and we had fun just sitting around chatting.

Then the next morning the kids were so excited to see if Santa had come, and of course this is the one picture we got of the whole gang!  Aren't they cute!!

 

And don't forget it was AJ's first Christmas.  I think he had a great time rolling around in all the wrapping and the boxes were the biggest hit!! (Mama kind of knew that would happen so his exciting gifts were sippy cups.)

Sam was very excited about his Narnia collection.  He has already worked his way through the first book and is now working on the second.

One of Matteo's favorite gift was his Angry Bird from Uncle Trevor and Aunt Jen. We are a huge Angry Bird family.  Yes we are all addicted.


Then the big gift from Santa was plasma cars.  (Did anyone see the awesome price at Costco!! OMG)  The kids had fun racing around the driveway before the rain started later in the day.

 Oh and so did the adults!!

 

Then we all had fun playing Wii Just Dance Kids!

All in all it was a great day just being with the family, and enjoying time together.  I hope everyone's holiday was just as enjoyable.  If you want to see more fun pictures check out my Dad's site: Christmas at the Compound.
