Christmas 2013

We all had a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of Jesus and

spending time with our families. The holidays always go by so fast but

we enjoyed getting a chance to spend time with everyone. I went to Tulsa

for a few days and then spent a few days in Lawrence. We were all three blessed

by our families with love, fun times and wonderful gifts.

Vinny's gift from Nonnie & G-pa. Instead of having to

bring it home they had it shipped to our house before. Thanks!

Santa left Vinny a note on Christmas morning that he had to

leave a few gifts for him at home and that he would

get them when we returned.

Christmas Eve dinner after Mass. (sorry for the poor lighting)

Santa made an appearance at dinner!

Sweet kids opening gifts on Christmas Eve. So exciting!

Vinny, Gabby, Adriana & Christina left Santa some milk and cookies

before they went to bed. Vinny decided he wanted to try them out first.

Silly boy!

Christmas morning!

Vinny's list was pretty short but a dump truck was one of them!

Charlie, Vinny & Oliver helping Nene celebrate her birthday which is December 26th.

Happy birthday Nene!

Opening gifts with Aunt Drew.

Thanks for the cool football uniform, Aunt Drew!

Play time with the cousins!

We were even able to catch a quick lunch with some friends while back in Lawrence.

We sure miss them. This is Haley Turk, isn't she so cute?

This was right before they leaned in for a kiss. ;o)

Santa came!

Batman! The other toy Vinny had asked Santa for.

Daddy put together the sweet new Viper that Nene & Poppie got Vinny for

Christmas when we got home and he was so surprised to find it the next morning!

Cousins & puppies! Pretty adorable!

Thank you Jesus, and our families, for a wonderful Christmas! We love you all!
