Gumdrop Tree!

Aunt Connie sent us a gumdrop tree.  The girls loved putting the gumdrops on the tree.  As soon as I put it together and opened the gumdrops I was transported to Christmas at Mom-Mom & Pop's house.  There was always one of these on the candy table and you always "snuck" a gumdrop no matter how close to dinner time it was.  Ahhh, memories. 

Disney on Ice!

Nonna & Pop gave us tickets to Disney on Ice.  The girls LOVED it.  We had such a fun girls night out!

New Toys!! (also known as Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas Eve!

We went to Aunt Mary & Uncle Rick's house for Christmas Eve as we do every year and look who was there!  Unfortunately, trying to get that many kids in one picture to cooperate is not easy.  Hopefully someone else got better pictures than I did on my iphone!

Annual Christmas Photo Shoot

We didn't send out cards this year, but I did still do our annual photo shoot.  Here are some pictures and outtakes for your enjoyment!

Tree Lighting Ceremony

We went to the Willow Grove Tree Lighting Ceremony.  Santa comes in on a firetruck and they have hot chocolate, cookies, snacks and music for the kids. 

Merry Christmas! 2010

The Nutcracker

Mom Mom bought tickets for us to go see the Nutcracker at The Pennsylvania Ballet and have Tea with the Sugar Plum Fairy.  Wouldn't you know Julianna ended up sick and throwing up that morning!  She has been asking to go to the theater for a long time and she loves ballet.  She was so upset that she couldn't go.  She stayed home with Pop and they rented it from On Demand on the cable box.

She missed a GREAT time.  Livi absolutely loved it.  She was in complete awe of the Sugar Plum Fairy.  She did pretty good at the ballet too.  She started to get antsy toward the end, but she sat through most of it pretty nicely.

Thank you Mom Mom!!

Holiday at Mom Mom's House

We went to Mom Mom's for a holiday party today. I only got one picture. I'm so mad at myself. I should have taken more. Livi was happy to play photographer today, so I'll have to check her camera and see if there is anything I can use on there.

Santa was here!

The girls are at such a great age for Christmas. Everything is SO exciting to them. They loved ripping open all of their presents and seeing what they got. There were quite a few squeals of delight as they opened gifts. It was so fun to watch them.
