The JOY of Christmas...

The joy of Christmas is... all of these things and more!

Mikey breaking bread for himself...


The first taste of oplatek (Christ's Holy bread)...


My mother-in-law teaching me how to make pierogi's...


Family gatherings in the kitchen...


Napping on Grandma Ania's chest after playing all day with Grandpa...

Sharing your teether with Mommy...

The first of many family Christmas photo's...


Trying to open the Christmas presents before it's time... and getting caught! (Mommy will teach you how to do this when you are a little older, I was the best at this!)...


Eating Christmas dinner with your family...


Santa Claus making a surprise visit on Christmas Eve!!!

Having you photo taking with Santa...

Knowing your Mommy is right there for you when it gets too scary... always...


Taking that first smell of the new perfume your Daddy bought for Mommy...


Opening that very first Christmas present...


Eating all your favorite desserts and not feeling the slightest bit guilty... at least not until the morning...

Playing with all your new toys on Christmas morning...


When the box your present came in is more fun to play with than the present...


Finding someone waiting for you on the other side...


Crawling through the box only to find you Mommy turns you around so you can go back through...


Relaxing after all the presents have been opened and the baby is fast asleep...

We hope you have just as much joy this Christmas as we did and for the next year to come! Thank you all for checking the blog regularly and sharing in some of the most special moments of our lives.
