Christmas 2010 #1 and #2

Christmas came and went all too quickly yesterday. I tried to cherish each little moment of spending time with family. We had not one, but two celebrations yesterday. We began the day opening gifts from Santa. Sophia was thrilled to see that Santa came and brought her the ENTIRE Disney Princess collection.

Hal got a remote controlled helicopter from Sophia and just had a blast flying it around the house.

After opening presents and having breakfast, we headed over to my parents for Christmas dinner.

It was nice to have my Grandma with us for another celebration this year. Next month she will be 90 so this is quite a special time for her.

We had some snacks and then sat down to a fantastic holiday dinner. Great food and great conversation took us into the late afternoon. Our family made our way back to our house so Sophia could have a nap and we could get ready for celebration #2. We got the house set up and patiently awaited our guests.

Hal's family arrived and the food and fun started all over again. This time we had appetizers and grazed while we opened presents. It was fun to see the kiddos open their presents together. Sophia and Abby got cute little chairs from their cousins and it was adorable to see them take a liking to them immediately.

Once we got through all of the presents it was time for everyone to head home. What a wonderful way to end the day.

This week will be busy with us traveling to yet another Christmas at my parents when my brother arrives home. We are so thrilled for him to come home and Sophia can barely wait to play with her uncle Ryan.
