Christmas 2011

What the heck is THAT?

So Christmas finally got here and I was SO EXCITED!  Last year for Christmas Connor was only 3 months so he didn't get to really get involved but this year he could at least start to get involved. So on Christmas morning we all got up, got the tree on and presents ready, made our way into the room to get Happy up, brought him out here and. . .he wanted nothing to do with it.  He just stared at us like we were crazy or something.  He spent a good 15 minutes standing by the door, practically crying.  I had to convince him to come over and helped him unwrap some gifts, once he saw what was under the wrapping, Christmas was a hit!

Formula 1 car, MY FAVORITE!!

So after Christmas at our house, we headed down the way to my mom's house for the annual Christmas Breakfast at her house.  It is always so good that by the time we get there we are starving!!

Messy messy

After a breakfast that always starts with laughter and good conversation, leads to full tummies and presents.  The kids are always so excited to go to Gammie's house to see what "Santa" has left for them. 

Two little munchkins

Gammie got both Connor and Toni Dyson vacuums that look just like mine.  I'll admit that at first I wasn't so sure if Connor would be into it, but it is FAVORITE gift!  Still to this day he still vacuums all over the house.  Too bad it doesn't pick anything up :)

Almost all here.  Christmas 2011

So after the morning we went home and began to get ready for Christmas Dinner at our house.  My family has always been very casual about the holiday's and Jonathan's has always been more formal, so its nice to have a mix of both.  Connor got to dawn his first little man suit!!

My handsome man!!

Gina came over and brought alot of wonderful Polish food, we were also joined ny Lidia and Vince as well who also brought wonderful food.  I have grown to love all the Polish food they make and I hope that someday I will be able to make it as good as they do, because it is wonderful!!

The best one we got, Connor just moves too much :)

What a great year this has been! Seems like we did so much in such a short amount of time.  We hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas and New Year, to always remember the true Reason for the Season, enjoy time with family and friends and to start off the new year right.

We love you all!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Jonathan, Courtney & Connor
