Movie Time

Over the holiday break we took baby Erin to her 1st movie....Yogi Bear! Jack & Luke and Erin all thoroughly enjoyed themselves, I think Jack loves the eating of the candy and popcorn the BEST!

Christmas Day/Night

Grandma & Grandpa and Aunt Jenni & Uncle Joe drove up to spend Christmas with us and my crazy family came over for Christmas dinner! It was fun and the most important thing was that we were all together! Jack had a blast as usual and spoiled even more! I did not take many pictures of the day, but here are the few I have...Enjoy and thanks to everyone for making our Christmas special! We love you!

Christmas Morning

Jack was happy to see that Santa did leave presents for him but sad that Tinsel went back to the North Pole to be with Santa. Last year he wasn't that into Tinsel and this year they were best friends...too cute!

Santa

When we got home from Meema's house we had to get ready for Santa. We put out our letter to Santa, and the rice krispie choo choo train Jack made and decorated for Santa and some apples for the reindeer. Jack also had "magic" reindeer food with sparkles in it so Rudolph could see our front lawn from the sky...too cute. Jack also made a key for Santa so he could get in the front door. Then we put Jack to bed and then he FREAKED out, he thought perhaps he wasn't a good enough boy and Santa wasn't going to leave him any presents....poor kid it was 230 am before he finally fell asleep....mommy & daddy were up way too late preparing for Santa!!!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went over to Meema's house for a wonderful dinner. We first went to the children's mass at St. Emily's and Auntie Annie, Guncle, Andy, Erin, Grammie and Papa were there as well. Then Jack was over the moon with opening presents and I think the reaction of him jumping up and down when he got something he really wanted was PRICELESS!

Chicago Weekend

We had our annual trip to the city to see Santa and do some last minute shopping on State Street. Go to Pizza Due and just hang in the city! Jack did awesome with Santa and even helped baby Erin so she wouldn't be scared...too cute!
