Christmas!
Another wonderful Christmas with family was celebrated this year. The kids and I went into Madison the weekend before Christmas and Bryan re-joined us Christmas Eve (after working a full day!). After mass we blessed the Nativity and the tree, hung our stockings, each of the kids opened one gift from Bryan and I (the annual Christmas pajamas) and listened to Christmas stories before going to bed.
I hung Joseph's stocking for him this year (he "shared" a hook with his Godfather, he-he)
Joseph opening the first gift of Christmas.

Eileen was so excited for Christmas, so she was very excited to get her new pajamas!
All three kids on Christmas morning, don't they look cute in their pj's with all the beautiful gifts around them!
Eileen was very excited about her new bike!
Joseph working on his gift
Olivia with her new guitar, she was being a goofball for the
pictures but she does like her gift!
Well we have our first "real" (by that I mean not a fish) pet. Uncle Benjamin got Eileen a Leopard Gecko for Christmas. Eileen named her Cassy, and she does a great job taking care of her.
Olivia and Joseph jamming out on Joseph's new piano, it was a musical Christmas for us.

Eileen and Olivia got American Girl Dolls for Christmas from Nana and Papa. Eileen
loves her Samantha Doll!
Eileen and Olivia with their new dolls, Olivia once again being a putz for the camera.
Joseph opening his cars from Grandma and Grandpa, he LOVES cars!
Eileen and Olivia got the Rose Petal Cottage from Grandma and Grandpa, what a hit that has been at this house! The only problem is Joseph is like the big bad wolf around here, he is constantly knocking it down! Makes for lost of squeals and screams from the girls, much like the little pigs sounded I imagine!
Uncle Eric gave each of the girls a baby doll and lots of accessories to use in the cottage, note that in both pictures Olivia has hers attached to her!
