....Christmas 2010....

Merry Christmas (season) everyone!! Happy New Year!! We had a perfect Christmas, and I am so thankful that the boys were (relatively) healthy. It was wonderful and joyous and everything that I had hoped it to be!!

We went to Mass on Christmas Eve at 4pm with Uncle John and Nini, and then back to 8 Fern Street for the traditional Dimitri Christmas Eve spread. YUM!! It was the first time for us preparing that food, and Brian was quite happy about it. : )

This is a picture of the 5 of us right when we got back from church.....you all know how much fun it was to take this picture.... ha, ha, ha!!




And to think that the boys actually stood still for about 4-5 more shots....



Henry has begun to teach himself how to write. Here he is writing "an envelope". That is what he calls a card. : )



Christmas morning we went over to my Mom's house for brunch and presents. Here Uncle John, Paul and Henry are playing with a new math game that John got for Henry.


David pointing out his favorite ornament on the tree at Nini's....
David receiving an Elmo hooded sweatshirt from Uncle John....(David LOVES Elmo!!)
Paulie is the newest member of the Boston Bruins!!
Back at 8 Fern Street, David plays with the Batcave from Grandma and Papa Jon.


Here David is earlier in the morning, playing the aircraft carrier that Santa brought.

The boys unwrapping the Batcave!! Very excited!!

Reading a book from Grandma and Papa!!


The beginning of the morning, opening stockings and moving onto the BIG presents!!



Uncle John working on a puzzle with the boys.


We finally got some snow just about 48 hours before Christmas day. The FIRST snow that actually stayed on the ground for more than 5 minutes....needless to say the boys were THRILLED!! (this is the latest that I remember getting our first Maine snow!)

We are supposed to get 10-14 inches more snow (and possibly MORE) tomorrow!

Getting excited!!

Snow angels.....
