Christmas

Christmas 2008 was our best Christmas yet!

We began Christmas morning by sleeping in (until 7:30!), which was quickly followed by opening presents. Our favorite gifts were....coffee grinder (Matt), new cell phone (Andrea), easel with dry erase board and chalk board (Claire), soccer goal (Tommy) and lincoln logs (Luke). (Ava slept until 10 am and opened her presents in the afternoon.) Presents were followed by breakfast - which included the traditional eating of the Jesus birthday cake. We attended a beautiful Christmas Day Mass and spent the rest of the day having fun - sledding on our new sleds and playing with our new toys! We were thankful for a white Christmas - over a foot of snow was on the ground - with sunny, (relatively) warm weather!

Merry Christmas!
