We spent our Christmas Holiday with dad's family up in New Jersey. Again, it was a holiday where time really flew by. We arrived in time for Grandpa P's work Christmas party. They have a traditional "beef steak" party where they serve bread and beef steaks that were really good. Very simple but the kid's loved it.
For Christmas Eve,we then had the traditional feast of the Seven Fishes at Aunt Belle's house where Santa also made a visit. We saw a good number of dad's family as well as a cousin close in age to Nicole. Even though Santa visited there, Nicole was not keen on Santa wherea LV was attempting to get his ear at every turn. In fact he mentioned to Santa that "mommy planted a garden" - you know just in case Santa needed to know that!!
On Christmas morning, after the gifts were opened,we saw Nicole's Godfather (mom & Dad's best man) as well up there. we went over to Aunt Belle's again and had dinner with a smaller group of family. Louis enjoyed all that Santa brought him as did Nicole. She really was into playing with each toy individually as she came across it and the cell phone and watch were a hit. Sadly the rain drove our activities of going out into NYC out the window, so we were bummed about that. (Again mom hoped for a nice family portrait to maybe send in a New Year's card!!) But perhaps we'll try a little later!!
