The Holidays!

 We have had some issues with our laptop so I am a little behind on my blog posts for the holidays.  I decided to just put it all in one post!  

 One of my favorite holiday traditions is the festival of lights. 

 I love the Christmas tree park!

 Even though it started to rain everyone was a trooper and smiled through it for me.

 My favorite little elves!

 SANTA!  Oliver hopped up on his lap and wanted to ask him 3 questions.  1.  Am I on the nice list?, 2. Can my Mom have diamond earrings?, & 3. Can I have a Cozmo robot?

 Komo Selfie!

 My favorite little man.

 My best girl!

 The show was awesome and we had a great time!!!

 We had another wonderful Christmas Eve dinner here at our house.

 The kids loved playing with our cousins and their new toys!

 So fun having everyone together!

Love these people!

 Loved having some new faces around the table!

 Dinner was delicious!

 Before dinner, we had a nice lunch with the Cappellis and we had some special visitors!

 Santa and Mrs. Claus came!!!!

 We all loved seeing them!

 The Cappellis and the Clauses!

 Santa and Mrs. Claus read us some great Christmas stories!

 The kids loved listening to them!

 Giada was on the good list.

 And so was Nicholas after he finally worked up the courage to sit on the big guy's lap!

Oliver had no problem hopping on the big guy's lap!

 Then before you know it, it was CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!!  The kids waited so patiently while Daddy and I made our coffee and got the fire going!

Then it was time for PRESENTS!!!!!

 Oliver was super pumped about his Hatchimal!!!

 It was a big surprise from Santa!

 He was also pretty pumped with this Cozmo robot!

 Claire was thrilled with her Chrome book from Santa!

 And all of the accessories that go with it!

We all had a blast playing with Cozmo!

And getting the Hatchimal to hatch!

After playing with all of our toys (and cleaning up all morning) we headed to Auntie Rose's for a delicious dinner and some fun with GG!

Christmas 2016 was another amazing holiday filled with family, friends (who are like family), lots of laughs, and much love!!!  Although, I am sad it is over I can't wait to see what is next on this crazy adventure!
