How fast it went

Christmas morning we were at home in the early morning so that Corinne could see what Santa brought her. She actually opened the presents but then got stuck on the toy that she unwrapped. We started a new family tradition this year that each year I would buy an ornament for Jeremy and the kids and write a little note about why I bought that ornament that year. Then each person has there own tote that their ornament goes in and that tote of ornaments is there responsiblity each year. Corinne also got a Little People Amusement Park, some stacking cups, a piano and a kitchen set (Santa got off easy this year since she really doesn't know the difference).

Christmas Joy!

Hanging her new ornament

Thursday and Friday we spent the days in Wheeling with Jeremy's side of the family. We had a nice time at Jeremy's Dad and stepmom's first and then went to Jeremy's Mom's for Christmas there. Corinne got some many gifts it filled the trunk and backseat of our van. We are so thankful to have so many people in our lives. Corinne got to play with all of her cousins at Pappy and Grandma's and loved that as much as the presents. We got to see Aunt Nicole at GiGi's and Corinne really liked playing with her! Friday we spent most of the day with Jeremy's Dad and stepmom just hanging out and enjoying time with Corinne. We also got to see Uncle Rich while we were there. It was nice to spent time with all the family and fun to see everyone. We came home very late Friday night (12:30) and were very worn out.

Hugs for Aunt Nicole!

Saturday we headed to my parents to visit with my Uncle Jeff, Aunt LouAnn, and cousin Tracie who did finally make it in from Chicago. They were finally able to meet Corinne so that was neat. Then my siblings came over so that we could exchange gifts with everyone we did not see on Christmas. It was fun to watch the kids especially my nephew Dominic who kept getting into things like shopping bags and then crawling out of them. Too funny! It was a late night but we even got a chance to play Keith new game which is something we have not been able to do since the babies came.

Sunday we spent the day cleaning and just hanging out. It was very nice. We did not put our Christmas tree and accessories yet because Corinne likes them so much. We will probably wait till next weekend to do that.
