Chritsmas x2!

We had Mimi, Popi, Uncle Rusty, and his girlfriend Lindsay down to celebrate Christmas with us. They were not able to come on Christmas due to Caitlynn not feeling 100%. They brought lots of gifts from "Santa". Caitlynn was super excited to see everyone and open more presents. Uncle Rusty and Lindsey bought her new princess dolls and she immediately had to have them out of the box right away! She also got a doll house, more clothes, and items for her doll house. Luke got a train table and he was excited about it! He also got more clothes and toys. There were lots of left overs from Christmas dinner so we all just ate that for dinner and dessert again. We were glad to be able to spend some time together to celebrate Christmas, a day late!

Snow Day!

We got a little snow so Laura decided to take the kids out to play. Caitlynn really liked the sled ride but Luke didn't like having snow in his face. There favorite part was trying snow balls that Laura made! To bad the snow didn't last very long and melted way by the very next day!

Christmas

We celebrated another Christmas at home. Nonna and Pop-pop came down to celebrate with us. Caitlynn wasn't feeling 100% so she was a litle slugglish. The kids got lots of presents from "Santa" and it took all morning to open them up. They got tons of toys and clothes. I think Luke's favorite part was throwing all the trash in the big bin. We even took a little ride in the bin after all the presents were open! I think Caitlynn's favorite gift was the movie Cinderella. She watched it twice already! Laura decided to make the entire Christmas dinner and dessert. There was turkey, scalloped potatoes, green beans, corn, homemade bread and muffins. For desset, she made lemon-blueberry cheesecake and apple crisp. There was a lot of food but just means there will be left overs all week.

An Early Christmas

Uncle Richie and his girlfriend Trish came to visit with her kids- Emily, Cailtin, and Owen. We celebrated Christmas early since this is the only time we will see each other for a while. We had a great time watching the kids exchange and open gifts. All the kids got matching PJ's with penguins on them. We were able to get a cute picture with all of them in the new PJ's. Caitlynn and Luke got a bounce house, which they LOVED! All the kids got a chance to play in it and it was the hit of the weekend! Trish also brought down gingerbread houses and the kids had fun making them. I think their favorite part was eating the frosting and candy! We all had a great weekend and were glad to spend some extra time with everyone before Christmas!

NJ Visit

We took a trip up to NJ to spend some time with Laura's family. Laura, Nonna, and Pop-pop took Caitlynn to walk through a light show. Caitlynn got to see Santa again and did remind him that she still wanted a kitty for Christmas. We decorated Nonna and Pop-pops tree with the kids, though they still weren't interested for very long. We had the annual Campisi Party at Laura's cousins, Jason and Jess. It was great to get all the little cousins together. All the kids got matching penguin pj's and they looked so cute in them! We were able to get a picture with them and Grandmom, which was sweet! We had breakfast at Uncle Richie's house. The kids loved playing with his coin jar and kept wanting to dump the pennies out! It was busy weekend!

Christmas Tree

We picked out of Christmas tree from a tree farm in PA. It's the same one we have gone to for the past few years. We always like to get large tress and this year was no different! Ryan ended up finding a tall, fat tree that he really liked. It was a little shorter then our previous tress but getting the angel on top was no problem this year! We spent the day decorating the tree as a family, even though the kids weren't interested in helping for very long. We're excited to start thinking about the presents that soon will be under our tree!
