We had a wonderful Christmas together as a family! 
This was taken at the Christmas Eve service... maybe next year they'll be two more pregnant bellies??
These are just 4 of the 14 babies that are due next year... in order of expected appearance!
Christmas morning was fun! Mackenzie came out all sleepy-eyed in the Christmas Eve jammies from Memom. She opened her big present (a doll house) one strip of paper at a time. She'd tear a little piece, walk over to her Nana, hand it to her, and then go back and tear off a little more. By the time she finally opened it, she wasn't really interested in it anymore. I tried to show her how to play with a doll house, but it is WAY too soon for this... we'll try again next year! (Luckily, this was just a yard sale find, so no big deal!)
Jake was happy with his gifts... lots of tools!
Mackenzie liked standing on all of daddy's new tools!
Here's our girlie trying to put a ribbon in her hair... she is such a girl!
Here she is sporting the cute jammies from Nana and excited that she figured out how to get into the M&Ms!
Jake's neice and nephew came over with his parents the day after Christmas and Kayla gave Mackenzie a night light for her room... I couldn't believe it because that is the one thing I wanted to get for her that I never got around to getting! It was so perfect! Mackenzie really liked it... she knows she's not allowed to touch it, but when I rocked her before bed that night, she kept peering over my shoulder and waving to it and saying "hi"... so cute!

Before I could chase her down, she managed to get at least one blue one in her mouth... look at her hands... who says M&Ms only melt in your mouth... not so if you're a toddler!
We did stockings together as a family Christmas night. Mackenzie had a very special stocking made for her by my Mommom!!

So here's the run down: Christmas morning was spent at our house with Jake's parents joining us. We went to my parent's house for lunch (she made 18 strombolis for us to pig out on!) and presents in the afternoon. Christmas night we spent as a family, opening our stockings and playing the Wii we got each other... so much fun! We're still enjoying a visit with his parents, they're in NY right now visiting John's sister, but they'll be back this week for more visits before heading home to Florida on Sunday. We're hoping to get together with Jake's sister's family on Saturday... will post more pictures soon!
