Christmas 2010

We had such an amazing Christmas this year!  Last year the babies were only six weeks old and slept through all of the celebrations.  This year they were awestruck by everything that was going on.  On Christmas Eve we spent the evening with my family.  The twins went to their first children's Christmas Eve service at the church I attended growing up.  We came home, enjoyed a wonderful meal, and got ready for Santa Claus to visit!

The twins were definitely on the "nice list" this year.  We awoke on Christmas morning to a TON of presents for these two.  Santa, Grandma, and Grandpa spoiled them this year!  It was so fun to watch them explore all of their new toys and open gifts.

Uncle Jay arrived from Atlanta in the middle of Christmas morning and the family was complete!  We enjoyed brunch and more presents!

Uncle Jay!

Spoiled! Spoiled! Spoiled!

While the twins took a nap the adults exchanged Christmas gifts and may have enjoyed a mimosa or two.

Before we headed to celebrate with the Hadjioannou's we got a few shots of the twins with some of their favorite people!

Then we were off to enjoy the afternoon and Christmas dinner with John's family.  We had a great time opening gifts, eating dinner, and spending time together.

We had an amazing Christmas this year.  The twins were incredibly fun.  We got to spend time with our family.  But best of all, John's sister Christina is expecting her first child in July.  Our family is growing and we are absolutely thrilled!!
