Christmas Eve 2010

This Christmas Eve was one of the most special Christmas Eve’s I can remember. We had Ted, Stephanie, Mom, David, Mike, Kerry, Uncle Alan, Auntie Anita, Kayla, Chani, Aunt Chris, Sean, Yuko, and even Boomer and Molly for dinner. We turned it into a Mexican christmas – with margaritas, chips, salsa and enchiladas. So much fun! The highlight was when Uncle Alan busted out the guitar and started playing Christmas carols. Liam could not believe it – a real live rockstar (ok, Wiggle) in his house! He sat next to my mom and just stared. We were all getting such a kick out of his reaction that we almost failed to see little Skyler sitting on the floor bouncing up and down dancing. It was so cute – every time the music started she would just bounce. When the song was over, she would stop and look around like, “what happened???”

Although still not completely grasping the idea of Christmas, Liam was definitely aware of and loved the tree, the lights, the presents, and the fact that Santa was going to come and give him a light saber. Skyler just loved to look at the tree and the lights and put any ornaments she could reach straight into her mouth! Christmas is so much more fun with kids!
