Merry Christmas

Christmas was so much fun!  There's always so much work leading up to it, but it's always worth it!  I love the kids' excitement in the morning.  We opened gifts, had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and then went to church.  It was nice to just be the 4 of us and not need to do anymore running around.  We ended up going to the movies to see Avatar 2.  

Christmas Eve

Even though we had some changes to our Christmas Eve schedule, it all worked out for the best, and was one of the most relaxed and fun ones we've had!  We started the morning at Grandma Joy's house with an awesome breakfast and Christmas presents from Gram.

Normally we go to church in the afternoon, then come home for dinner and presents.  With it being Leila's 1st Christmas, and her usually going to bed at 7:00, we adjusted our schedule.  We came back to our house for early dinner and presents with my family.  We decided to go to Christmas Day Mass.  Mom and Dad prepared our Ukrainian meal, and we had fun playing Minecraft Uno with the kids.  It was fun watching Leila open her presents and get excited for the tissue paper!  We ended the evening with Leila snuggles and a movie with the kids.
