So far, our Holidays have been very MERRY!
Christmas eve my parents and brother came down and we had a nice quiet steak dinner . My mom wrapped all Bryan's gifts in Thomas paper and all Maya's gifts in Dora paper. Bryan was very wise to her wrapping and everytime he glanced at a Thomas wrapped present, he shouted out, " I am ready to open my presents" or something to that effect. It was so funny. He was so excited! He did open a few that night and really loved his Thomas race set from Nanny and Poppy.
Before Bryan went to bed, he picked out 4 cookies for Santa and poured him a glass of milk.
The next morning the kids slept until about 7:30am(Christmas miracle)....and when Bryan woke up, we got Maya and proceeded downstairs to see if Santa came.
He did!
Bryan at first actually forgot and was just happy to see Nanny, Poppy and Uncle Mike.
Then he turned his head and saw his new Thomas set and forgot about the rest of us. He was very happy.
Santa left Maya the Laugh and Learn home which we all really enjoy.
Next came Christmas dinner. Aunt Lisa, Uncle Joe and Gammy arrived with food and presents. We ate and ate and opened presents all day long. We had a really nice time.
We are so lucky that everyone traveled so that we could spend Christmas together. Seeing it thorugh Bryan and Maya's eyes is so awesome. Especially Bryan because this is the first year that he is truly excited. He will be 3 next month and his gears are always turning!
We all got so many great gifts!!!
I could write forever, but I will direct you to all the pictures below instead:)
And, our Christmas is not over yet! We celebrated with our neighbors yesterday(Cheryl, Troy and Logan). We celebrate with George's family tomorrow and Saturday. We celebrate with my Mom's family(Our Cousins: Sharon, Phil, Scott and Cathy; Aunt Janice, Ed and Mimi) on New Years Eve Day. If that is not enough, we also have to celebrate with Bryan's Godmother, Jen and Maya's Godmother, Cathy and their families!
We had a wonderful Christmas and look forward to the next few days as well!
