Busy Christmas Weekend

Christmas weekend began with a wonderful Christmas Eve day. Brian had to work, unfortunately, but was able to be home for part of the day. Colin and I did some cooking and just hung out making sure things were ready for Santa.

We headed off to church for 4:00 service and Colin did great, especially considering there were tons of people there and mass took a little longer than usual. After church, we headed to Grammie and Granddads for dinner.

Colin is helping Granddad start a fire in the fireplace.



Our family photo on Christmas Eve. Colin looks so grown up to me. Ugh, and you can see my baby bump!




Brian's Grandma Rita was at dinner, too, and here is an attempt at a picture while Colin is sitting still...

Colin with his cousin Olivia who is about 8 weeks older than him. They are such good buddies, they even go to daycare together once a week. Both are such busy kids, hard to catch them sitting down together at one time...


2 seconds after the previous picture was taken...they're off to run and play!


Christmas Morning! Santa was at our house!!

Christmas morning...playing with Jake (his best buddy ever)

Opening his stocking






He couldn't wait to open this big gift from Meemaw





Yeah, a Little People Farm house!









We got this cute handmade train from our Aunt and Uncle in Canada. Colin loved pushing and pulling it around the living room, putting whatever he could in the back of the train.


The treat for Jake that Colin was eating...gross






Another fun gift from Meemaw











Cute PJ's from Great Gramm Gramm Rice (Colin is under them somewhere, holding them up for the camera)





Colin's new lap top from Mom and Dad.

Dad got a pretty cool new camcorder. Mom is waiting on her gift to be delivered...a fancy new camera!! Can't wait to take more great pictures once it gets here.




Cutie baby and Mom





After we did Christmas morning at our house, we headed back to Grammie and Granddads for more fun. We caught the 3 youngest kiddos for some pictures. Olivia, Andrew and Colin





The day after Christmas we got together with Brian's extended family. Here is Colin and Olivia chasing around JJ, a poor little doggy not wanting that much attention.





Colin with his cousin Noah




Colin opening his gift from Great Grandma Rita, a pretty cool airplane ornament!





Cousins Luke and Patrick singing away at the karaoke machine. What a great idea Granddad had to bring it along...





The end of the night...Olivia is pooped! We all had such a great time...

Merry Christmas everyone!
