The MOST Wonderful Time of the Year!!!

Christmas was so much fun this year! Jack is at such a great age...he asks tons of intuitive questions and has so many silly comments like "seriously" and "its freakin cold out" both of which I hate my 3 year old saying but its still so funny to hear him say it!!

He also didn't understand why Santa didn't eat all his cookie and we had to explain that he gets really full because everyone leaves him cookies :)

Christmas eve morning we went to Uncle Joey's and Aunt Kristin's to have breakfast and open presents with the Mansolillo's

so awesome!

Daddy and Jack playing Uncle Joey's new Kinnect game!

Jack's favorite gift....his Tiger Pillow Pet!Then we spent the evening at home with Mommy's family!

Christmas day we were up early to see if Santa left presents for Jack and sure enough, he did!! Nana, Pops and Uncle Joey came over to check out my presents before heading down to the Schwab's for the most delicious Christmas dinner ever :)

Jack loves playing with all of Renee girl toys!Trent sporting the sun glasses!

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

ICE! & Christmas w/The McNeece Family

Saturday we spent the day with the McNeece family. We went down to National Harbor to see the ICE! How the Grinch Stole Christmas display and we checked out the decorations and train at the Gaylord Hotel! IF you haven't been down and are thinking about it, we highly recommend it. It was AWESOME!
