Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was filled with lots of excitement...

Traveling the night before Christmas Eve to beat the storm only to lose Jeff's wedding ring in the snow while trying to clear the snow from the headlights. We were given our first Christmas gift before Christmas...it was FOUND 45 minutes after we gave up looking by the deputy who stopped to help us look. Christmas miracle!

Having a whole day safe and warm at the hotel with my parents with lots of time for playing in the pool, sliding down "Lily" and relaxing by the fire...
Family pictures all dressed up before church...


Christmas Eve all cozy and warm with family at Auntie Ginger and Uncle Jeff's... The fun of Emilia knowing just who Santa is and watching her reaction to a PERSONAL message from him!



Emilia experiencing a tradition I have had for most of my growing up years...waking up in a hotel room on Christmas morning to the stocking and gifts Santa brought!

Celebrating Jesus' Birthday with Nonna's traditional red velvet cake...


The excitement of new creations from Papa's workshop...
Finding time to enjoy all of the snow that the storm brought and building a fort!

The fun and relaxation of our Christmas after Christmas at home in Marshfield with my parents...

Knowing that next year will be two times the joy and two more cheeks to be kissing...
