Wrappings, Ribbons, Toys Aplenty

I just typed up a whole recap on our Christmas morning complete with pictures and it all somehow has been erased. I'm upset with blogger at the moment and will have to catch everyone up later on our Christmas. Huff, huff.

Okay, I'm back on ready to attempt our Christmas morning and pretty much over being irritated with Blogger for yesterday's catastrophe.

Anyway, Emilio awoke on Christmas morning at 6:50 a.m. and declared, "Okay, I'm ready to go!" The kids loved opening all the goodies in their stockings and probably would have been content with just those items, but there was more. Emilio loved his new Police Station Lego set from Nonno and Nana, and the Fisher Price Digital Art Studio that we gave him. Gabi fell in love with this baby pig toy that we found for her and the Bitty Baby stroller that Nonno and Nana gave her. They got plenty of other things too.

We made breakfast burritos and had Gingerbread lattes and Peppermint Mochas thanks to our in house barrista- Andrew! It was a fun, hectic morning playing with the kids, cleaning up all the wrappings and ribbons, and hanging out.

That afternoon we went out to my Uncle Randy's house for Christmas dinner. It was wild and crazy with all my cousins' kids, etc, but fun. Aunt Michelle and Cousin Julie provided a snow globe craft for the kids to make which was a hit too.

Here are a few pix......
