Christmas Joy!

This Christmas was so much fun with a new baby to enjoy the holiday season with and a fun toddler that took in everything and seeing his smile and his eyes light up was the best thing ever!

Owen and I had fun decorating cut outs. I am not sure whether anyone would want to eat his end product, but it was a good first try. Next year they will be even better. Owen mainly just wanted to eat the frosting from the plate instead of decorating the cookies


 Andrea and I took a day with our mom to bake Italian cookies. It was alot of fun to learn how to make our traditional cookies that for so long my mom has done on her own. Hopefully next year Lynn can join in the fun.  Owen and Finn mainly just observed the cookie baking and Finn just smiled at the girls
 2 peas in a pod. They look like they will be trouble in no time at all!

 Uncle Nick's hat, the only one we have gotten Owen to wear. He is stylin'

 Owen's expression as he looked at the Macy's Christmas windows. The look of awe and amazement, this is what the Christmas spirit is all about
 Enjoying their new couch that their Aunt Erin got them for Christmas

 Finn is chillin in his old man hat!
 Christmas Eve at Great Nona and Papa's house. Our annual tradition to go there after mass. Owen was quite the ham that night, dancing like crazy and running around. It did not help that Uncle Nick was egging him on.

 My little Santa Claus! Just last year Owen wore this hat.
 Owen and Finn's new sled from Grandma and Papa

 All the boys on Christmas day

 Our first trip to the Shedd Aquarium. About all Owen said was "Wow" and "Ohhh". He was loving every moment
