Merry Christmas!

We hope that you all had a Wonderful Christmas with family and friends celebrating each other and the REAL reason for the Season! On Christmas Eve we went to Nana and Papa's for dinner. We had one of the traditional meals (hot beef sandwiches) that my grandma made when I was younger. The kids opened their first gifts of Christmas and then we all went to church. After we got home we opened gifts from our friends from WI. Patrick was determined to wear his Packer "uniform" to bed. I talked him into wearing it on Christmas Day instead. On Christmas Day everyone came to our house where we opened the rest of our gifts and had a prime rib dinner. The boys were able to open their stockings right away when they got up. Patrick also got a 3-in-1 table which wasn't wrapped so he knew about that when he walked out of his room. Needless to say he was just a little excited when he came downstairs. Patrick received the Diego Mobile Rescue Unit which pleased him immensely. This was the main thing he asked Santa for and Santa remembered! Aaron enjoyed his first Christmas. It was so neat to see him experience things for the first time. The Jumparoo was a big hit! Patrick enjoyed himself and really got into the spirit of Christmas. In fact, he went to bed better than he EVER has on Christmas Eve as he claimed to hear bells. After informing him that Santa wouldn't stop if he wasn't in bed asleep, he raced to his room and didn't even really want to be tucked in or anything. We are truly blessed with great friends and wonderful family!
