Christmas Eve 2013

We did Christmas Eve a little different this year.  Rather than having Christmas Eve dinner we had Christmas Eve lunch at Grandma & Grandpa Z.'s. 

And then the big man in a red suit made an appearance!

He, of course, had a present for the kids!

Present time!

After presents, we played some games and then it was time for church!

Grandma was in charge of getting the little kids dressed and in order for the procession. Luke and Paige joined in too! Paige led everyone out and was waving at the people - I couldn't believe it!

After church we headed back to our house so we could actually have Christmas morning on the real Christmas morning. It's a new tradition that will take some getting used to for everyone!

Happy Fourth of July!

The Fourth of July is a two day celebration for us! We headed to Peru for the fireworks on the 3rd and then came back to our house in the afternoon on the 4th for some pool fun and more fireworks!

Before we left, I tried to get a few pictures of the kids in their red, white, and blue! The pictures are actually quite comical since I couldn't get them both to look at the same time.

And then I tried for some more pictures at Grandma & Grandpa's...

Luke already ran off and Paige was trying to walk in her "glass slippers"...pretty pic of the house though right?!?!

Then the craziness began as everyone started to arrive!

These were supposed to be used in a relay race, but there were a lot of boys there so of course they were swords!

A little pinata action!

Paige fell asleep on my lap during the fireworks on the 3rd but everyone else enjoyed them and Luke was a party animal that night!

When we got home on the 4th, we relaxed for a bit and headed out to the pool. Unfortunately, the water was a bit too chilly for all of us! But Paige did wear her golden swimsuit that we were hoping she could wear for her golden birthday party, but it wasn't quite warm enough that day. She looks like a little diva!

We popped some popcorn, packed some water and blankets, and headed to the fireworks in Beecher!

Such a cute family pic, but it was just too dark out for a phone pic :(

I think she was excited :)

Both kids made it through the fireworks this time and they were awesome. Beecher always puts on such a great display! Paige was clapping and cheering and thinking they were all "pinkkkkk!". We had a great holiday!

Christmas Eve 2012

Late afternoon on Christmas Eve after playing with all of our new toys, we headed back to Peru for some more Christmas festivities.

Thankfully, the kids both napped on the way there.

We went to Christmas Eve mass and then headed to Grandpa & Grandma Zukowski's for dinner and fun.

And then Santa came!  I have no idea what happened just as Santa was arriving, but Luke was not happy for awhile.  But then, of course, Santa brought gifts so Luke cheered up!

Even Paige was brave enough to grab a gift from Santa (she still would not sit by him though!).
