This Christmas was very special for us as it was the first Christmas that Abby got to spend time with ALL of her grandparents. Pop & Mumzie came to stay with us for the week of Christmas and it was great to spend time catching up with them since we don't see them too often. This was really the first year Abby was "into" Christmas and Santa. We were very careful to explain that Santa leaves gifts only when she's asleep because she was insisting on staying up all night to see him. When we asked her what kind of cookies she was going to leave for Santa she said they had to be pink cookies. So we made pink chocolate chip cookies for Santa!
We let her open one gift of her choice and it just so happened to be a cute PJ set from Josue and Veronica. She loved it and danced the night around in it. She helped us set out the cookies and milk for Santa and warmed her hands by the fire. On Christmas morning, she jumped in surprise when she saw all her toys and then quickly started playing with the Barbie castle and pony that Santa left for her. We made her wait to open the rest of her gifts until after breakfast so BB and Papa could join us.
Grandma, Grandpa, Sergio and Seth made the trip up for a Christmas visit and stayed the night with us. They arrived early morning so Abby and Seth played most of the day. Daddy made a great late afternoon lunch and then Abby opened more presents. Allison even got in on the action and got lots of great goodies from her family. Abby kept saying she couldn't wait to play with her baby sister. It was a wonderful Christmas and we are so happy that we got to see all our parents for Christmas. We are very grateful for such a wonderful family.
Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer
