Christmas 2012 was special since it was Natalee's first Christmas and our first Christmas together as a family of 4. I could probably write a book about this day, but instead I will just say a few words with the pictures which tells the story of our day. Hope everyone had a blessed day!
Here I am putting the bows on the presents under the tree...getting ready for Christmas morning.
Here are all the presents ready for the kids to rip open in a few hours.
Nico woke up at 5:30 am from a thunder and lightening storm we had happening outside, but he completely forgot about that worry once he walked into the living room and found all the presents Santa had brought. He immediately came into our room to wake us up.
We told Nico he had to wait until Natalee was awake to open any presents. So what did he do? He ran into Natalee's room at 5:30 am yelling, "Natalee, Santa brought presents! Wake up!!!!" Natalee, who was sound asleep, picked herself up a little, looked through the bars of her crib and then flopped back down. She was not necessarily ready to get up, but she did for the sake of Christmas.
Nico did a pretty good job at opening the presents in which he coul dfind his name, but did help Natalee with a couple.
Natalee was a happy girl with the entire experience of present opening. She really had no idea what was happening, but loved exploring all the new toys surrounding her.
Nico attacked his stocking and everyone else's right away!
Natalee checking out her Dream Light, that Nico picked out for her.
Chilly was a huge hit from Santa!
Nico showed Natalee how the ball popper worked. What a good big brother.
The little lady's big present!
We waited until Christmas morning to sign happy birthday to Jesus!
Nico is showing Natalee how her new Dream Light works.
Lounging in his new sofa fold out chair! This was Nico's big present from Santa....sucha big hit, he slept in it on Christmas night.
Instead of cooking dinner at our house and having all the work and clean up, we decided to continue with our Italian Christmas meal tradition, but ate at Buca di Bepos. It was great food. We then went to see Wreck It Ralph at the movies.
