Christmas Eve

Today was a perfect day. It started out with the Gonzales girls coming over to visit and exchange presents. They brought us a delicious breakfast of cinnamon rolls, blueberry muffins and donuts. We always love having them over and were happy that they could stay for lunch too!

Noah received these very cool glasses that are also a straw... very fun!

Maria also made him a very special Toy Story pillow all by herself. Noah is actually sleeping on it right now as I type this.

Auntie Pam, Angela, and Maria gave Noah some Scooby Doo wash clothes... he loved them and spent a good 1/2 hour washing walls and wiping down the furniture. He's definitely my son. Noah with the Gonzales Girls.

All ready to go to Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Molly's house to celebrate with the Marek side of the family.

Scott and I had these shirts made for all the adults and older kids- they were a hit.

What a motley crew...

Ok... I feel like this picture needs an explanation because I look like I had too much to drink... what was really happening was that we were laughing because we were both trying to not have a double chin for the picture. Lorrie said you had to tilt your head up and I said you had to tilt your chin down... I think I was right.

When we got home Noah put out the Santa key

and the cookies and milk- of course!

We had such an amazing time tonight. We were the last ones to leave. It was just so relaxing and wonderful to see the kids all having such a good time and the adults getting to enjoy each other's company. I didn't want it to end...
