Christmas Day!

This year was WAY cooler in terms of Hunter and his particpation in Xmas activities. Hunter knows what it is to open up gifts and is really attentive to each one he opens... it's so cool! This year Santa brought him a soft saucer snow sled, a snow suit, snow boots, and a puffy snow vest -- can you pick up on a THEME!??!?!!? Momma NEEDS some snow days off from school to be HOME with her little guy! I miss him soooo much when he's at daycare! Mommy and Daddy got Hunter a sit 'n spin, books, a monkey blanket, and cute lil red 'n black house slippers! <-- Hunter loves 'em!

Well, Christmas morning was a great morning... we sang happy birthday to baby Jesus in the nativity manger and then opened stockings and then... we ate our hearts out: we ate our now traditional egg 'n sausage 'n onion casserole (compliments of my friend Brig) and gutta (which is a meat dish and Hennessey family recipe) and cinnmon rolls (compliments of Pillsbury Dough Roll -- you gotta cut corners somewhere!) ... YUM! Then, we opened gifts and Hunter went down for a nap, while we showered, getting reading for THE GRANDPARENTS!

You see, later that afternoon we had ALL the grandparents over for dinner! (Truth be told: they prepared all the food; we provided house, good china, our good company, and CLEAN UP!) Krista's folks and Charlie's folks and Krista's grandmother Mimi, who is Hunter's very cool Great Grandmother and her husband, Great Grand Bob, were all here! Oh my, Hunter just LOVES Grand Bob! Hunter hadn't seen Bob since Easter, but he immediately reached out for Bob to pick Hunter up!

Hope all is still merry and bright for you all, even in mid-January!

XOXO........................ Krista, Charlie, and Hunter
