Good Times

We had a really great time for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we took the kids to McDonald's for breakfast (I know it doesn't sound exciting, but it was fun), to church, and then to my parents for the traditional Polish Christmas Eve supper.

Christmas Day was a whirlwind of wrapping paper, visits, fun, and little bit of craziness on the side! We started @ our house, then to Grammy Linda and Pap Jerry's where we met the Cochos for dinner and a present-opening frenzy. Next we visited with G-Gram for a while. We ended up @ my parents house where we met Dana & Nate for supper, more present frenzy and a sleep-over. Wow! Pictures are much better at describing the day than me, so here:

Jackson got a big spaceship set


(don't ask why, but the boys are obsessed with moustaches)

This is a really cool book that can fold out into a firetruck that you can sit in - coolest thing!

Jude and Maddie did well taking turns with their gifts. I think Jude was more interested in Maddie's Strawberry Shortcake set than he was in any of his other toys.


Ah! The boys and their Legos - we should be part owners in the company since we buy so much of it.

Jackson helping Jude open a present @ Ga-Ga's. Their big gift from Aunt Dana and Uncle Nate was a Wii - oh boy! We set it up @ my parents and everyone (even Ga Ga) played a little!

So now that the holiday is over, it's time to recover and relax. We have the entire week off this week to play and spend time together. Although we don't have any set plans, we have some ideas for activities - stay posted for photos.

Thanks to our families for the wonderful holiday and super-yummy food and the many gifts. We are so grateful that we can spend Christmas with both of our families :)
