Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year with all of our family. All of us were very blessed with lots of great gifts and fun times with the people we love the most. Here are a ton of pictures of George enjoying Christmas.
We built George's wonderful gift from my parents a couple days ago and he found it in our storage room so we had to get it out a night early. That's okay - he LOVES his new kitchen and I think it is about as cute as it gets.

On Christmas Eve we headed to Kelly and Joe's to celebrate Wigilia (our yummy meatless meal tradition). With George, the triplets, and their cousin Willa, we had quite the line-up of one year olds for dinner!
George loved the food - he ate a ton of mushroom soup (unlike me) and scarfed down a perogi or two.
Santa's elves brought all the kids matching PJs. This is Ryan and George checking out the DVD we got the trio. George really wanted it for himself.
Modeling his PJs and new Chicago Cubs crocs!
Playing ring around the rosy with Willa and Caitlin.
On Christmas morning, George was way more spoiled than a kid who won't remember this day ever should be! He got a customized Illini basketball hoop...
Great new books in his stocking...
Checking out the tunnel of his new tent from his Nana and Pa...

A toy that is made to be hit with a hammer? Genius...

His cleaning set from his aunt Laura...
George got to stay up late both nights. The first night was no big deal, he just played until 9:00 when we went home. Last night, he was much more unhappy and we had to leave in a hurry to stop the wailing. Oh well. We had a wonderful Christmas with everyone and we hope you all did, too! Thanks to everyone for our great gifts and wonderful company!

I love George's kitchen! He looks so cute playing in it with that apron on. And all those 1 year olds on Christmas Eve are about as cute as it can get. Thank goodness your basement is done, otherwise where would you have put all those new toys?!
