Christmas celebrations!

We had a wonderful and blessed Christmas this year! It was so nice to have Nonnie and G-Pa with us to share in fun Christmas traditions. Below is a large array of photos from the last week.

Our cuties before Christmas Eve Mass. I love their dresses!
Our family before Mass. Hard to believe in about 5 weeks we will have another family member. We are getting so excited to meet our new baby! 
The girls with Nonnie and G-Pa before church. 
After Mass we went to the Summit Club for dinner and then came home and opened gifs from each other. Adriana is concentrating hard as she opens the box. 
Check out the size of the bags! The girls received so many nice gifts from my parents. These bags were full of gifts. They enjoyed the bags, too (as you can see)! 

Before heading off to bed, we set out a letter to Santa and some milk and cookies for him and threw reindeer mix in the lawn.

Christmas morning! Santa left them A LOT of gifts! 


The convertible was probably the most unexpected gift. The girls didn't include it on their lists but Santa thought they might like it. 
Gabriella asked for a nail salon and here the girls are painting and drying their nails. Such fun!
Playing with her new Barbie. 
Adriana wearing her new Brave dress and feeding her baby in her new high chair with her new food set.  
Christmas Day was very cold but the girls still took several breaks during the day to ride in their new car in the backyard. This was their first ride. They were so excited about the car they just put on their ear muffs and went for a short spin.  
Santa brought a tub full of Perler Beads. Most of Christmas Day and the days following they were busy making creations. Nonna and G-Pa also joined in the fun. 
The gingerbread house the girls made a few days before.

Uncle Tommy, Aunt Danielle and Vinny came down to visit a few days later and we had another gift exchange.

Gabriella and Adriana (below) sporting their new winter hats Aunt Danielle, Unc and Vinny got them. One of Aunt Danielle's friends crotched them. So pretty! They match their winter coats!
Adriana in her new hat. 
Vinny opening his gifts. He is such a big boy and so cute!  
Vinny playing with his new remote control car he got from us for Christmas. 
Our annual morning pajama picture. Our coordinating pjs are from Nonna and G-Pa.
The three cutest kids I have ever seen! ;)
I hope each of you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. We had a very special Christmas season as we got to spend time with family and enjoy the real meaning of Christmas. We also want to thank our family for the wonderful gifts you all gave us. We are spoiled! We love you all!
