Christmas EVE!


After spending the morning with Daniel and family, we headed to Mass with my parents. We had to get there early to get a seat, but the boys did great. They looked super handsome, despite the battle it took to dress them (mostly Sebastian, but Matteo didn't love it either.)

Just us. Aww. =)

The boys with the Nativity. Yes, I need to get Sebastian some black socks (especially before Uncle Corey's wedding). And he would not wear a dress shirt, so he wore a t-shirt under his suit jacket....geesh.

Dressy family photo on Christmas Eve!

Matteo found this partially opened gift and had to rip the rest of it open. BALLS!!!! =)

He was a happy boy.

Opening a big gift (shopping cart full of more balls!)

Ripping open another one!

Matteo LOVES his Weebles!

Car launcher for Sebastian. What a face!

The aftermath on Christmas Eve, with two busy boys too busy to smile for a picture. =)

Sebastian enjoying puzzles with Lita.

Matteo loved the car launcher too.

Time for Noche Buena Dinner!

Everything turned out delicious! I have to brag - my Pernil (roast pork) was wonderful as was my arroz con gandules. Yummy! Potato salad, pasteles and rolls rounded out our feast.

Matteo playing peek-a-boo as we finished eating.

What a cutie.

After dinner, boys wore their new jammies and played some more.

Then it was SHOWTIME! Sebastian had been working on some songs and some special gifts for the family and they had a blast performing.

Matteo sang too...

Then it was time for the guitar and more instruments and dancing. Boy did they like all the festivities!

Matteo was fading fast, but he couldn't help but clap even while he nursed. He didn't want to miss anything. So cute!

Our "Happy Birthday, Jesus" cake!

Kids were very excited, we sang several times.

Eating cake and more singing!

And the Puerto Rico clan came through on Skype so Sebastian was one happy kiddo since he got to talk to Angelica on the computer. What a wonderful Christmas Eve! More to come!
