We had a great celebration this weekend with my parents. We decided to do our big dinner Saturday evening so we could relax more Sunday. Here are the biggest and littlest (besides one yet unborn) sitting together for the Nativity Story movie.
Of course Austin was working hard on his aforementioned turkey. Here he is carving.
The meal was delicious featuring the turkey with cranberry relish, a spring green and strawberry salad, sweet potato fries and pecan tarts for dessert. Here we are about to eat.
Christmas morning, we woke and dressed for mass which was beautiful. No
photos though. My dad took one quick one but I looked like a Beluga
whale and refuse to post it on the blog. ;) After mass, we opened gifts.
The girls squealed and shrieked for every little gift they received,
even the pack of gum from their sisters (they had a low budget for each
other spending their own allowance money!). This of course made me so
proud. Stephen was a little overwhelmed, but his favorite gift by far
was this automatic car from Lita that flips and rolls and just goes
crazy. It was hysterical to watch. I tried to get a video, but there was
just too much going on. The children were so excited to see baby Jesus!
Gloria was so excited to have her own Texas Girl doll...
