Merry Christmas..a little late

We left for Mario’s hometown the Friday before Christmas..and we knew we wouldn’t be back home until late Christmas Eve, so we went ahead and left out milk and cookies for Santa.

Caroline had a great time with her cousins.

There were presents taking over the living room! (notice Mario’s senior picture on the wall..lol)

Caroline opened the first of many princess themed gifts..wow, I said we were not doing the princess thing before she was born.

We got back home at about 11pm on Christmas Eve and Caroline was sound asleep so we put her to bed and Santa got to work.


We woke her up in the morning (because she will sleep until 9!) and she was so excited! She picked out a princess dress and shoes from her trunk of dress-up clothes.

We checked out the stocking.

Yay for Foofa shoes!

All of her pink loot.

We got dressed and headed over to my parents’ house to see what Santa dropped off there.

Caroline was more interested in passing out everyone else’s presents that opening her own. I’ve always played “Santa” and passed out the gifts..I guess she takes after me.

My parents are awesome and got us some great stuff! We got a blu-ray DVD player with WiFi and it is awesome! You can listen to your Pandora stations, stream Netflix, get on Facebook..we’ve been having lots of fun during our week off!

After we got things somewhat cleaned up, my dad brought out the other gift that Santa brought. She kept asking Santa for a pink car..and he brought one! She LOVED it!
