Christmas 2011

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas 2011 was spent in Queensbury, NY with Mimi, Grandpa, Uncle Mark and Uncle Timmy. We spent the weekend playing (Mikey LOVES to play with Daddy's old toys), watching football and basketball, and spending quality time with family.

On Christmas Eve, Mikey had a special visitor come before he went to bed----SANTA! He came bearing LOTS of presents for Mikey including a new bike, a sled, chocolate and candy canes, Handy Manny talking tool box, personalized pajamas and Chuggington trains.

Mikey wouldn't go near Santa until he had his lovey to comfort him

I love my new bike!!

Even Mommy got a present from Santa!

Hoodie-Footie pajamas---the warmest gift EVER!

On Christmas Day we went to church, ate breakfast and then opened gifts. Mikey got so excited with everything he unwrapped, he would immediately exclaim, "Open it, Mommy! Open it!". This response happened with every single gift. He really enjoyed each one.

This was definitely the "Cars Christmas" for Mikey. He got Mack (the big tractor trailer) and loads of Cars characters and a Cars pillow. He also got clothes (Nike track suit and Bruins hockey shirt), a scooter, Easy Reader books, play mat with a "town" and book from Great Grandma Ruth, books (2 special books were recorded by Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Scialabba and another from Mimi), a hockey/soccer ("hocker" as Mikey says) net complete with hockey sticks and soccer ball. I'm sure I am leaving many things out. Needless to say, Mikey was spoiled by Santa, his grandparents, his uncles and Meredith!

Mimi and Grandpa spoiled Mommy and Daddy too by getting us floor seat tickets to the Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw concert this summer in New Jersey! We are SO EXCITED!

Merry Christmas!!
