Christmas 2010


Better late than never? No, but it will have to do in this case!

Our Christmas was great! Hectic, of course, but well worth the exhaustion.

My parents, brother, sister and her boyfriend came over on the 23rd. We celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve by lounging, cooking food, going to the children's mass (Emma lasted about 25 minutes ... not bad) and opening presents.

On Christmas morning, I got up at 5:30 to get showered and all ready for when Emma awoke. I waited. Denny got up and started breakfast. We waited some more. We were anticipating Emma crying to let us know she was awake (she was asleep on our bed). Instead, the little stinker ran into the kitchen! It was great! Denny then carried her into the living room where she spotted her new slide instantly! It was so much fun! She then opened her sled, doll, coloring books, books and pajamas.

We then headed to Debbie's where we ate more food, opened more presents, took more pictures and just relaxed for a few hours ... before heading to Dennis'.

We again ate, opened gifts and visited before heading home to enjoy dinner with my parents and Jeremy before they left.

It was exhausting ... the kind of exhausting that doesn't feel exhausting until you sit down and realize just how tired you are! We were all tired. It was a great time!
