Merry Christmas … with the Entire Family!
Panoromic shot above! My whole family came up from Hawaii/Australia to celebrate the holidays with us. Woo! Not sure when the last time we were all together for the holidays was… probably never with the extended family and such. Only person missing here is Pat.
We spend Christmas morning at our house opening stockings and presents. Vincent was excited to finally open the presents that were waiting under the tree… he had a specific one he wanted to open from Aunty Sandy that he shook when it arrived in the mail and knew it was a “toy” — that ended up being a lego toy. 🙂
We had a tasty lunch at the McGirr’s (tri-tip and ham sandwiches), then spent the rest of the day chilling at home, playing and spending time together since Susan and Jill/Glenn had just come in late last night.
Here are some photos!
Stocking stuffed!
Lightening McQueen stickers!
Trying to get a photo of the two! It’s not so easy.
These were “santa’s” gifts. Vincent got Matchbox cars, popcorn, PJs, music book/cd, cupcakes. Melanie got teacup bath toys, PJs.
Vincent wanted to open and play with his gifts immediately after opening them of course.
Melanie really seemed to like opening gifts too with the help of her Aunties and Grandma!
Vincent helped open her gifts too of course.
Grandma bought her a cute dolly that sings songs. She pokes the face a lot and pulls on the hair.
Melanie was practicing crawling around.
Vincent got Kinder eggs from Australia! Don’t think he knows how lucky of a kid he is to have an Aunt that can bring them for him.
Probably one of Vinny’s favorite gifts was his Robocar Poli set from Grandma Jerrie!

My mom brought an old toy from my childhood — a fisher price house. Vincent and Melanie both really liked it.
At Pop-pop’s house — a fun to was awaiting Vincent!
A Cars race track!
Melanie was eating her dress.
The men looking at the BBQ – Mike asked Glenn if he knew how to BBQ. He’s Australian, man! Throw it on the barbie!
Melanie got a stroller and dolly from Oma!
Super cute.
Aunty Susan!
Aunty Jill (and Uncle Glenn in the background)
Jeff’s big bag of pretzels! (Grandpa Don’s back there somewhere)
Vincent was real obsessed with the race track!
Melanie liked her new PJs from Jeff’s Aunt/Uncle.
We had fun dressing her up like a present.
