Christmas Events

You don't have to read all this.. It is more for me to remember what we did! :)

Well our Christmas came and went VERY fast!!!!!

Christmas Eve I went home to the birthday party of Jesus at Kelly's house. You can check out pictures here! It was so much fun! You have never experienced Christmas until you experience it through a child's eyes. Caroline and Eli were so excited about the party and making the cake! We even had party hats.

After that Patrick got home in time to go to his families church Christmas Eve Service. It was a very nice service and it was nice to be with family. After the service we went to communion at my dad's church. Usually we are the last people there but this time we were early. My dad had a prayer with us and it was so sweet. Of course everyone cried!

After communion we went over to Patrick's Grandad's house for dinner and to spend time with the family. While we were there we decided to sort the presents under the tree. HOLY MOLY There were TONS!!! Not to mention Mary Alice had so many.

After that we went home to sleep and get ready for SANTA!!!!

On Christmas day Patrick and I had about 30 minutes by ourselves at my parents house to do presents. I had already opened up my presents, a computer and a cross necklace. Patrick was very surprised by his big gift, a GPS. He was in Heaven!

When then headed to the Graham's house to do presents. To say that they spoiled Mary Alice and us was an understatement. I was very surprised to get a digital picture frame! Mary Alice also got the most beautiful dress!

For lunch we headed to Grandad's and we all go spoiled AGAIN!

Next it was on to my parents house. Caroline and Eli were so excited! Caroline really enjoyed opening all presents and really enjoyed her baby alive that actually poops and peed! Eli loved all his toys as well. The best part of opening the gifts was when Eli was opening a big bag of just clothes, he threw all of them on Granddad and kept looking for candy or a toy. It was hilarious! Of course Mary Alice and we were spoiled again! I finally got a pair of DANSKOS! :)

My aunt and cousin came over dinner. It was sad without my Poppa and Grandma but we enjoyed each other company.

After dinner we went to Patrick's aunt house for the last event of the day. We had a great time and found out great news! We are going to have a new cousin in August! :) Patrick's aunt and uncle are expecting their 5 baby!

So our Christmas was very hectic but we had a great time! Thank you everyone for the gifts. It was so hard to get everything in our cars to come home (I can only imagine what next year will be like).

Today is time to get to take down the decorations and put away all presents! :)
