Christmas - 2013

Christmas was in hyper drive this year.  The holiday season flew by but we were still able to squeeze in lots of fun and watched The Grinch about 200 times (much to Eric's dismay).

We went to Christmas Eve mass with my parents and brother.  Eleanor looked like a little Christmas dream in her dress and fur cape.  I could just eat this girl up!!

 

 

After mass we stopped by my parents house for a quick appetizer and some pics of Elle in front of the tree and then we were off to the Hylton's for family Christmas. 

 

 

Christmas morning we woke up early, we were supposed to be at my parents by 8am for present opening.  Elle came out in the living room to examine her spread from Santa, she was super tired but still excited.

Once we arrived at Santa's workshop my parents house we jumped right in to opening presents.  It was so fun watching Elle and Henry...they were so excited!!  Henry couldn't get over the fact that Santa ate the cookies he left out and Elle was just enjoying her new giraffe chair.

 

Will was super sneaky and "iced" Nick & Eric through a wrapped present.  Nothing like a Smirnoff at 8am!

 

 

After gifts we ate a big breakfast, played with new toys and then Elle and I crashed for a long nap!  Once we woke up we headed back to our house so Elle could open more presents.

We ended the night back at my parents for a big Christmas dinner.

Overall a great Christmas!

These pics are too cute not to include.  Henry and Elle bought Grammy & PawPaw this birdhouse for Christmas.  Hen loved helping put it together and demonstrate how the birds would eat out of it...too cute!
