Christmas Day

Merry Christmas, everyone! We hope your day was filled with lots of love and laughter. Here is a snapshot of how we spent ours. <3

Gathering their stockings first thing Christmas morning

Santa ate the cookies and wrote the boys a nice letter back. :)

Daddy was thrilled with this present from Santa...

Later that day, up in Bethlehem...

Alli, Pappy, Gaga, Minnie and Carrie :)

Handsome boys with their Pops

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is always a special night around here. Going to mass, having a nice family dinner, and then exchanging gifts and leaving Santa his letter and cookies before calling it a night. It is my favorite night of the year!

Hanging out with Gavin in the Church Lobby...

Admiring the Nativity Scene with their Grammy DJ

Wearing the crowns from our Christmas crackers... ready to eat!

Aidan loved his castle from Grandma and Grandpa

"Thank you, Aunt Terry!"

Aidan "writes" his letter to Santa

Christmastime Moments

Everyone who's had kids knows that there is nothing quite like experiencing the magic of the Christmas season through them. Their joy is what makes this time of year the very best there is. Here are some of our favorite moments, celebrating the holidays right!

Christmas Tree Hunt: Coleman's Tree Farm, Middletown DE.

Meeting Mrs. Clause!

Christmas cheer for his beloved "Coll Coll"

More Christmas love for his favorite little baby girl, Reese.

We found it!

It's hard work cutting down a tree.

Aidan and Chase's Class Trip to the same tree farm later that week :)

Decorating

Aidan was hard at work with a certain "decoration" but I didn't know what he was up to...

My phone was playing Christmas Carols and Aidan asked if he could have it...

Of course, Gavin wanted to "help"...

The end result! A gang of Christmas friends rocking around the iPhone. hahaha

The first ornament

Look, I can help this year!

Aidan always does the finishing touch...

Aidan's very first Christmas pageant!

The highlights...

Christmas Party at "Miss Bette's"
