Christmas 2010

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We did and feel truly blessed. We spent 9 days in Florida celebrating Christmas and enjoying time with the Mangino family. We also spent a day at Disney World's Magic Kingdom (I will share those pictures in another post soon.) Below are more pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.


The girls with Nonna before Mass on Christmas Eve.


Mommy and Daddy.


Hilarious! After dinner on Christmas Eve, Adriana fell asleep at the dinner table. We could tell her eyelids were getting heavy but before we knew it they were closed and then....


She was out! So funny!


After Adriana's power nap and some dessert, we opened gifts from each other. The girls had so much fun and were very spoiled by Nonna, G-Pa, Uncle Tommy and Aunt Danielle. They got clothes, shoes, purses, books and so many other great things.


Playing in the wrapping paper - their favorite part!


Setting out a letter with cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer.

Christmas Day

 

Running out to see what Santa left...


Gabby got a Spider-Man bike and helmet (big hits, which Santa instructed was to stay at Nonna & G-Pa's), roller skates, a Barbie, books, a Fisher Price iXL learning/gaming system with two games, art project stuff, pajamas among many other things. She loved it all!


Adriana loved all the commotion. She walked all over the place picking up gifts.


Gabby excited about her Spider-Girl dress-up costume.


Roller skating. These were the number one thing on her list this year and she was so excited when she saw them waiting for her in the morning. 


Adriana got lots of great stuff, too! Santa brought her car walker (which Santa said has to stay at Nonna & G-Pa's), books, a toy computer, a toy camera, pajamas, coloring books, a Fisher Price pull telephone, a baby doll, a FurReal dog (she loves dogs!) and lots of other good stuff.


Big yawn! Although she was having a good time, Adriana was a bit tired. Once Gabby woke up, we woke her up earlier than usual to see what Santa brought.

All of their gifts. They were good girls this year! In a letter back to the girls, Santa said he left presents for them back at home. Stay tuned to see what was waiting for them when we returned from Florida!




Enjoying the Floridian weather in our pajamas Christmas morning by the pool. Our pjs were gifts from N&G.
