another christmas celebrated with all of the cousins. sixteen to be exact 🙂 it was so much fun as always. everyone managed to stay healthy! {yay} we managed to fit in only three rows at christmas eve mass. we also managed to have more food than we have ever had afterwards…
the kids did an another amazing job with their christmas pageant and of course created a new tradition when opening their presents. this year they chanted each other’s name faster and faster as each present was opened. these kids are the best big and small. with just a little bit of sleep on christmas eve, we all enjoyed lots of coffee and laughs christmas morning as the kids played all morning with what santa clause brought them. we sang happy birthday to Jesus and then as we always do, each family packed up to head to see more family!
this year was extra special to go see nana! it was her first christmas in the new house. it was beautiful and great new memories were made. it has been a year full of blessings for our family.
