Can we just freeze Christmas at this age?
The boys were so blessed because they were surrounded by so much family and love and essentially they had 3 Christmas's. It was crazy!! Both Ken and I decided not to do a big Xmas this year because this trip was our Xmas but it turned into a big one because we both have huge families on both sides, so the boys celebrated the traditional Christmas Eve with some of his family (which was like a GIGANTIC XMAS for the boys), Christmas Day (Santa) and then when we got home, Santa had visited here..(well.. the Santa from my side of the family). I loved the excitement in their eyes and seeing the smiles, not only from them but all the joy the family got watching! I am just bummed Grandma Judy and Grandma Karen couldn't be with us. I am going to be blogging this week mainly on our vacation because there is so much and I want to be sure the boys have this memory when they are older of this trip! Of course, this year was a "sporty" Christmas as well as "SUPER HERO" .....So different then last year when I wrapped individual ping pong balls and they were excited for that...this year was a tad bit harder because they knew EXACTLY what they wanted. Last year, they could careless, they just liked it was a present. 
Boys newest cousin ~ "Giavanni" who is just a sweetest little man and peaceful soul.
Santa's coming soon...right before boys went to bed. They were so pumped!
Grandpa above having a great laugh, just sitting and watching boys
Christian so excited he got his newest "Hess" truck to add to his collection, thanks to "Ro-Ro", as you can see he pummeled her with the biggest hug after he opened it. She gave the boys a new one last year, and this will most likely be a annual gift. She actually goes and waits in line for these as she has given them to the boy's cousins since they were babies (the are now almost 30) and she still gives them each a truck. Aunt Deb in the background, finally sitting down and enjoying a cocktail after cooking up a good 'ol Italian feast.

Uncle Mike, Aaron, Rich or the boys? Big boys driving it around room from room...hummmm
