Christmas has come.....

.... and so has the snow! I am posting round one of our Christmas pictures. We had a rough week with Nicholas who began with an ear infection and then a sinus infection (you will see evidence in many of the pictures!). On Christmas Eve, he spiked a fever and I got stronger antibiotics for him. Luckily, he was better by Christmas morning but didn't get to go to mass on Christmas Eve. With even more luck, Nate did not get sick. We are lucky to have Gaga Maresca and Gaga and Papa all with us. We had a lovely holiday and are now stuck inside playing with our toys. Merry Christmas everyone!

Waiting for Jesus to come!

We let the boys exchange their Christmas presents on Christmas Eve so it is more special.
Nate got two new trains for his table!

Nick got a pretend "school" kit. He loves to teach Nate!

Ready for church, except Nick had a fever so we changed him right back into his pj's.

These two are characters!

Setting out the cookies together.

Still working hard!
