Christmas 2010

Christmas this year was really fun. We stayed here at home in Pennsylvania. It was the first Christmas where Sage understood what was going on. It was so entertaining to watch her open her presents and play with them. I think we doubled our toy inventory. We're running out of room. We really need a playroom. Some of the toys Sage got was a mini stroller (probably her favorite gift), a ball popper, a little race car, new books, a xylophone, blocks, her first barbie, a desk, and a barn magnet set among others. We just got a few teething toys for Sydney since she didn't really know what was going on. Anyway, we went to John's brother Mike's house Christmas morning and he and our sister-in-law Jaime made us a yummy brunch and Sage played with her cousin Emma. We spent the rest of Christmas relaxing at home. We made a big Christmas dinner and apple and chocolate pie. The day after Christmas we went to John's parents house for a big family get-together. 5 of John's 6 siblings were there and lots of Sage and Sydney's cousins. We had dinner together and exchanged gifts. It was really fun. I made over 100 chocolate chip cookies that weekend and gave them away in tins. We also made an art project for John's parents and some friends. We had a busy weekend. It was fun to make our own Christmas memories. Next year Sydney will have a better idea of what's going on and it'll be even more fun. Here are a few pictures of Christmas day. The picture of them in their Christmas dresses was taken about a week before Christmas.
