Merry Christmas!

After spending most of Christmas day in our pajamas, we all got dressed and ready to go to Marco and Stacy's house around 3pm. Just before going, I'd made a chocolate tart to take with us for dessert (and I wore my matching apron from Aunt Cathy and Uncle Eric). I had the girls dress in their red dresses, with Olivia wearing Sofia's red dress from when she was that age. They both looked so cute and I was able to take a few photos of them, one with them and Buddy.

We headed over to Marco and Stacy's where we enjoyed appetizers and just hung out while Marco's pasta and meatballs and sausage in sauce simmered. We sat down to eat Christmas dinner around 4:30 and it was all delicious! We had pasta, sausage and homemade meatballs in sauce, salad and garlic bread. A real Italian treat and all made by Marco. After dinner, we relaxed for a while and let the kids open their gifts before we had dessert and coffee. The girls both got a bunch of stickers and a Paint Your Own Animal set, which they both love doing. Sofia also got a Build Your Own Stepping Stone, which will be fun to make. They both enjoy crafts and painting and loved their gifts.

We enjoyed the chocolate tart and espressos and just relaxed and hung out until it was time for the kids' bedtime. It was such a fun Christmas celebration and great to enjoy it with good friends.
