Christmas...

This holiday season has been bittersweet...a special, wonderful, magical time with the girls, though we missed daddy terribly, as well as grammy and gumpa, Aunt Renee and Uncle Craig, our cousins and Gigi.

Here are some of our highlights...

Twas the night before the night before Christmas. Mommy let us dive into our presents from Aunt Pat and Uncle Ed (Sophie is on the phone with Aunt Pat!)...

Emma hard at work opening presents.


Christmas eve morning - the princess atop her perch of presents.

Christmas eve at St. Anthony's Church

Cuddling up to our deer...

Setting out cookies for Santa...one for Santa, one for Sophie

The calm before the storm...mommy was up at the break of dawn waiting for the girls...noone stirred til 7:30 am - a Christmas morning record.

Sophie getting her energy to open presents - nothing like a few froot loops to start the morning.

More to come...we love you daddy....
