Christmas and New Year's Eve 2011

Junior participated in the Christmas pageant at mass again this year and actually sang along with most of the songs this time. He had a much better idea of how they went this time than last year. The next morning we hid all our baby Jesus' for the kids to go find. Then we opened presents and then more presents once my family came over.

New Year's Eve we invited our friends, the B family over for dinner and to play games and let the kids play as well. Before that we went to, what has become a holiday tradition for us to ride the train in a nearby town. The B family joined us and had a great time. We did not expect the kids to make it until midnight, but they definitely did and then some. We got them all ready for bed after midnight and they were still running around on fumes I think because once our friends left, the kids went straight to bed and slept in the next morning!

We celebrated Christmas with Daddy's family on New Year's Day and enjoyed the time we had with them. We went once again but with the H family this time to ride the train again. They were the first ones to introduce us to the train man. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera for all the events of this day.
