Where do I start? Due to minor technical difficulties (I’m so thankful Jim knows his way around a computer!), and the craziness of the season, I am way behind in sorting through my pictures! We’ve had a wonderfully jam-packed few weeks, but I’ll start by sharing pictures from the pinnacle of the season, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The kids were predictably bonkers with excitement by the time the big day rolled around – and their enthusiasm was infectious!
We had incredibly warm weather on the 24th (almost 70 degrees!), so I took the kids out for a walk – we barely needed coats!
We went to my in-laws’ that night to celebrate with Jim’s aunt and uncle. There was so much delicious food you had to roll us out the door afterwards! The highlights were the filet mignon and Aunt Mary’s Nutella cheesecake:
The evening was worthy of a spontaneous conga-line:
The next morning brought bouncy kiddos into our room at 6:15 am, but we were able to hold them off until my in-laws arrived at 8:30, and then we tore into the stocking stuffers (Jim’s specialty – we need huge bags to hold all the little presents!). Danny was especially cute to watch all morning – he kept exclaiming, “I LOVE it! I LOVE it!” with a huge grin on his face:
Jimmy even got his very own bicycle pump in his “stocking” – a fitting gift, since he received an air pressure gauge earlier this year, and ended up flattening all the bike tires by checking them too frequently!
More pictures to come!
