Merry Christmas ...

"Today is a gift. That is why they call it the present!"
our attempt at a family photo after church. As the family gets bigger it gets harder and harder. :) It was a very nice service and the babies sat through it like champs. They were so good and didn't cry once. I think they loved all the singing. Especially Sophia, she loves "silent night" so I sing that to her when she can't sleep.

Anyway, we went to Omas for dinner, exchanged gifts, then came home and opened more gifts. It is a european tradition to open the evening before. We woke up to find that Santa had came!!!! They were actually on his nice list, can you believe it!?

We took this one ourselves and I think it came out better. This one we used the auto settings on the camera.

Twinkies first ornaments from Oma... she found Andrew and Noah but got Marie since Sophia was out of stock. They are so cute.

I just fell in love with this pic of Sophia and her daddy. Look what we found under the tree...the best Christmas present ever.





Waiting for Santa... they are cuties.

Sophia opening presents...

They scored at Omas...

Andrew opening gifts from his dad... I love the exciting look on his face everytime he opened a present. AND yes, he totally pretended to still believe in Santa!!!!

Today we will be going to Aunt Annies and hopefully get to meet our new cousin born on Christmas day... Seamus Michael Fallon! 8 pounds and 21 inches. What a handsome boy and could you get a better Christmas gift?! Amazing. (Photo taken from Joes facebook.)

Tomorrow is the family party at Christas... we can't wait to see everyone!
