A look back on our Christmas...

We all had a wonderful Christmas - spent it up in NY - we started off our trip on Saturday the 21st, driving up to Castile.  No problem with the drive, Jim & Ben did very well!  The boys were very excited about opening up presents!  And had lots of fun playing with their toys!

We then made our way to Buffalo on Monday - everyone was in town this year, so it was great getting to see everyone!  Again, the boys were very excited about opening their presents, playing with all their wonderful toys, and hanging out with everyone!!!

Christmas Eve was our usual, going to Church at 4:00 (Jim was very confused, he asked Grandma why he didn't get to go to Church in a Limo!) then came home for a delicious dinner.  We had to go outside to sprinkle our reindeer food so they knew to stop at Grandma's house.



Jim had just picked out the cookies for Santa, and was very carefully carrying them back to the table. He was very excited Christmas morning to see that Santa ate his cookies, drank his hot chocolate milk, and the reindeers ate his carrots! 

'Twas the Night Before Christmas:

Having fun together Christmas morning -

This year was one of the 1st years we did not travel on Christmas Day - we got up Christmas morning, opened our presents, enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, and then got to spend all day playing with their new toys! 

 Thursday morning we got up, had breakfast, and made our way up to Albany for the day.  It was great spending the day up there and visiting with everyone!  The boys had fun, and got to spend the night in a hotel, which was pretty cool according to Jim!  Friday we made our way back to VA, with no troubles.

 

All in all, it was a great Christmas!!!  So lucky to be able to spend it with everyone!
