What a Wonderful World

All of us on Christmas Eve.. notice my pretty hair?


Not so much the next morning! lol (I do love Maddie's Piggy Jammies!)


We had a fantastic Christmas and hope you did too! This year was so much fun. It really makes me look forward to next year and new traditions for the Dimino Family. I plan on decorating more and putting out cookies for Santa next year!

On Christmas Eve we went to visit with Matt's local family at Pam and Alyx's house. Pam made a wonderful turkey dinner.. so yummy. We celebrated with Grandma Phyllis, Aunt Lainie, Cousin Brian and Brian's dad Richie. Maddie had a great time doing laps around their dining room table and playing with their dog Cobie.

We called it an early night as Maddie has been teething (we think) and didn't sleep at all the night before. We were all pretty tired.

Christmas morning we woke up and enjoyed breakfast and got Maddie excited for all her gifts that were to be opened shortly. She didn't try messing with the presents this entire month as they gathered under the tree so we weren't sure if she'd be more interested in the gifts or the wrapping. Well, once she got started, she LOVED the presents. So many fun toys that said her name or helped strengthen her animal noise skills. She got a few new teddy bears, a couple of outfits and lots of cash for her piggy bank.

No snow outside, but we had the Yule Log crackling on the TV to put us in the mood! :)

We hope that everyone had a safe and Happy Christmas. Next time you see Maddie, ask her what Santa says.. she'll tell you "ho-ho-ho"!
