We had such a wonderful Christmas spending time with all our family. My family as well as Adam's parents went to mass at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve at our church. Adam, myself and the boys then went back to Adam's parents house where we had a lovely evening opening gifts and spending time together. As we drove home Alec was searching the sky to see if he could find Santa's sleigh flying through the sky. When we got home we put out cookies and milk for Santa and then got the boys to bed.
Christmas morning dawned and Alec was up with the sun! We first ran out to check and see if Santa had eaten the cookies and sure enough he had! We looked through all our stockings and then went out to the family room to check the tree. Alec could not believe all the gifts that were under the tree! We had a blast opening gifts and seeing Alec's reaction to his presents. His favorite gift was the Thomas slippers that Santa had brought him. He wanted them on his feet immediately! Santa brought Aaron some toys also and he put them right into his mouth! Yummy!
After we opened gifts we went over to my parents house to have breakfast and open gifts there. It was so nice to be able to spend the morning with everyone, including the newest member of our family, Allie's husband Jason. That afternoon the rest of the extended family came over as well as Adam's parents and we all celebrated the birth of Christ by enjoying the company of our loved ones.
The only flaw in the two day celebration was that I somehow managed on Christmas morning to reformat the disc on our new digital camera and deleite ALL the pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I cried my eyes out when I realized what happened! Thankfully Adam's parents have some pictures from Christmas eve. That will teach me to go messing with the digital camera!
