Christmas Day is Here!

Gifts and kids were a theme of the day for Christmas! Between Santa and Nonna (and Papa), C was in gift overload! Luckily, there were lots of kids around to play with everything!

Christmas #2.1 of #3

Not to be outdone with all the fun of our Maryland Christmas, our time in Connecticut was a whirlwind of holiday celebrations with just as much, food, toys and family chaos. Here’s just a snippet of Christmas Eve…

Christmas #1 in 2K13

Another year, another slew of Christmas celebrations! Up first this year was the Tucker gathering, when we celebrated an uncharacteristically warm lead up to the Christmas holiday. With six young boys, there was bound to be chaos, but – luckily – everyone came out unscathed!
