Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We went to brunch at KewPee's with most of the LaMacchia family.  They have been doing this every Christmas Eve morning for many, many years.  

Hannah and Noah sitting with Alan and playing some games on his phone
 


                                          Getting ready to go to Christmas Eve Mass:
 


Spending part of the night at Great Aunt Virginia's house for her party.
Complete with a visit from Santa.  He read a story, handed out gifts to all the kids, and led the group in a Christmas carol.
 
 
  
  
 


Back home where of course Mom HAD to take a few more family pictures to capture the Christmas spirit...
  

Setting out cookies and milk for Santa, and carrots for his reindeer
 
 
 

Daddy reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
 
 

Setting up all the gifts, the stockings were hung, we're all ready for Christmas morning!
 



Christmas morning!
John was up, and anxiously awaiting for the kids to wake up!
Hannah had already snuck down and taken a little peak!  We thought we heard her walking around, but didn't catch her in time before she made it down the stairs.  She was still pretty excited :)
 
 
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
 
 
So much happiness, so much love!   We facetimed with MomMom and Poppy so the kids could open their gifts from them and wish Merry Christmases!

Cheers to Mom and Dad for a successful Christmas!

After some short naps, we headed over to John's parents for dinner and to open gifts with them.
Gifts from Uncle Paul and Aunt Megan-  an Art easel.  And from Aunt Cassie and Dale- art supplies
From Grandpa and Grandma- tools and a workbench for Noah, and dress up Ariel for Hannah
        
 

We wish everyone a very, Merry Christmas!  Hope yours was filled with as much love as ours was :)
