tis the season..

Once again, we had an awesome Christmas this year. Maddie was so much fun, and really understood the meaning of "Ho-Ho", who brought her "pezents". We started our fun festivities out with the Tobias family party, which was the day before Christmas eve. Let me tell you, the Tobias clan knows how to partay!

On Christmas eve, we went to Christmas mass with my fam, then went back to my parent's house for dinner, and presents. Maddie was SO spoiled! Most of her gifts were Dora related, and her favorite one was a sleeping bag, go figure!
Christmas morning, "Ho-HO" left Maddie her very own kitchen, complete with dishes and food. It's so adorable to watch her cook for Matt and me! After that, we were off to Matt's side of the family.

We went to Grandpa Dennis's house for a yummy brunch, and of course, more presents. Dennis got her a bike, and even though she is a little small for it, she insisted on trying it out. Next, we went to grandma and grandpa Lopez's house for dinner, and even more gifts. We had such an exhausting, fun couple of days.

It's so weird how Christmas takes weeks of planning for, and it's over in a blink.
Even Charlie got a gift. Shannon bought her a dog Snuggie! It's the cutest thing ever! She hates when I put it on her, but I will try and get a pic to post.
Happy Holidays!

  6. Sounds like so much fun! I think it's so funny that Maddie calls Santa "Ho Ho". You can't help but spoil her on Christmas! I love that photo of her face looking through the railing. So cute!

    And can't forget about Charlie! That's fun that she even got a Christmas gift. :)
