Christmas 2015 {Brief Recap}

Christmas Eve at the Baldo House

I know, I'm totally late in the game with the whole Christmas recap but life....it gets in the way.  And the recap is just as much for me 10 years from now as it is for you to keep in the loop with what we are up too.

This year Louie, the elf made an appearance .  Mason didn't grasp the whole concept of the elf keeping an eye on him etc. but her sure did enjoy look for Louie each morning.  I'm looking forward for him to join us again next year and being a bit more creative with his hiding spots.  Mason didn't really get why Louie like being in the fridge....  Ava even enjoyed seeing Louie on the last morning up on the window sill pointing at him all day.

Mason wanted three things for Christmas this year but he wanted absolutely nothing to do with Santa.  He had a hard time figuring out how Santa was going to come in the house while he was sleeping.  He kept looking up the chimney asking us how and why he was going to come down with his gifts.  He had a hard time wrapping his mind around all this along with all the excitement of Christmas and receiving gifts.

Mason's Wish List:
1. Marker Maker
2. Electric Guitar with a cord
3. A Music Stand

We celebrate both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with our usual family traditions. Christmas Eve included a fish feast at my parents' house with lots of family and fun.  Christmas Day we opened presents from Santa at our house in the morning then headed back to my parents' for more gifts and yummy leftovers.  After we all took a little nap we headed back out to my Uncle's house for more food and fun.

Here are some pictures of our amazing Christmas!  We are so blessed and lucky.
