Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve - Dad and his girls

Wow, the girls loved Christmas this year. Caroline was totally into it and Gabriella understood a lot more than we thought she would. Santa of course was very good to them and they got a lot of wonderful gifts. Christmas Eve was at Dad and Kathy's then Nonnie and Amy came to our house to spend the night and watch for Santa. Santa snuck in without anyone hearing him and left the girls their presents inside the front door. They were so excited when they woke up and saw the presents and the cookies and milk that Santa had enjoyed.

Here are some pictures of the festivties and lucky Silverio girls.

Happy New Year to All!

CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS

Sweet Caroline

We are getting ready for Christmas and are very excited. Caroline can't wait! Gabriella doesn't quite get it yet but she does love the decorations around the house. The other night we went out to dinner and all of the sudden Gabby jumped up on her seat, pointed to a man across the restaurant and said "Santa Claus". When I turned and looked she was so right - there was a man with a white hair and a great white beard and he looked just like Santa. It was so cute how she spotted him and pointed him out. Of course, at the mall she will have nothing to do with a picture with Santa - she is scared to death.

We will spend Christmas Eve at my Dad and Kathy's as we always do and then Nonnie and Aunt Amy will come to our house to spend the night so that they can wake up with the girls on Christmas morning. Santa will certainly be making a stop at our house - we have a new plate for his cookies and cup for his milk. Caroline has asked Nonnie and Amy to keep an eye out for him during the night since they will be sleeping in the living room. Christmas Day we will spend at home - we want to make this our family's holiday tradition. Stay in jammies all day and let the kids play with their new stuff. We plan to have crab legs for dinner and will enjoy a nice day at home.

I love the holidays and having the girls make it so much more fun. Here are some pics of our holiday preparation (sorry for the red eye).
