Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. We had the BEST Christmas ever!! Of course Julia didn't understand what was going on but Mommy and Daddy thought everything was great by just having her with us.
Our celebrating started at noon Christmas Eve, with a visit to Grandma and Papa's house where we exchanged gifts with Scott's immediate family. Julia received a couple pairs of pj's, an outfit, a beautiful hand knit sweater, her first purse set, a johnny jumper and a little people plane. After that we went to Nona and Grandpa's house where we exchanged gifts with my immediate family. Julia received 4 dresses, an outfit, a white gold charm bracelet with a heart charm, and a very cool walker. From there we went on to my aunt and uncle's house for our traditional Italian Christmas Eve dinner, Feast of the Seven Fishes. Which is AWESOME!!! Julia was so good with socializing with everyone and was sooo good even though it was way past her bedtime.
Christmas morning started at our house with lots of presents from Santa for all of us. Julia was very good so Santa brought her the most. She received a Laugh and Learn computer game, a Laugh and Learn Stage, a sensory ball, a really big stuffed Elmo, a book, and Shrek 3 DVD. After all the presents Julia was able to take a nap before Nona and Grandpa came over for breakfast. I made a breakfast casserole that turned out really good (thanks Diane for the recipe). I put it together the day before and all I had to do was bake it for an hour. It was so easy. We especially love going to our church for Christmas day. The church alone is so beautiful and they decorate it so nice for Christmas. Scott and I have helped decorate in the past but it's so hard now with Julia. Hopefully again we can do it again. Mass was given by our favorite priest, Father Ed. Thank God, he has recovered so well from his hip surgery (it was really hard because there were complications with his first hip surgery where they were not able to do it the first time.) Julia was so good during mass, she looked all around and of course smiled at all the people. After mass Julia was able to take another nap, actually we all took one before we were off to our next destination. Uncle Sammy's house, where we had a wonderful dinner. And of course Julia got another present from Bobby and Jill, a very cute little outfit. Our final stop of the day was to Uncle Fred and Aunt Debbie's. Again it was way past Julia's bed time and she was so good. We finally got home at 11 and Julia went right to bed. I know it was a lot for her but she was such a trooper.
Julia was very spoiled by everyone this Christmas and we are very thankful for all the wonderful gifts from everyone!!!
