Gift Gluttony

We spent Christmas Eve with the Cecchins again this year - it was great watching the kids together.

Marco giving a cute smile for the camera - Nikos too busy opening his gift from Marco.

Olive smiles for the camera.

Ha, this one kills me. It's can be difficult to look like a stud in skinny jeans and a grinch shirt, but I think he pulls it off.

Next up - the hug. This goes the way they usually do.

Don't ask about the hairbow. It was a bad decision. There was a little bit of overaccessorizing going on. Instead direct your attention to Olive - notice her grip her new Jessie doll - so cute!

And now - on to Christmas day!

Posing by the tree (Niko's choice of pose.)

Olive chills in her new chair.

Checkin out her Woody and Bullseye.

Nikos opening one of his two requested gifts "Thomas crashing into a mountain." (Btw - when he opened this he was excited but acted like he had never seen it before. Who knows what he was talking about.)

He wanted me to take his picture as he pressed the button that made the howling winds sound.

After Nikos opened the Thomas and his Walking Talking Buzz (no pics) he just wanted to go to his room and play with his stuff - we seriously had to talk him into opening their big gift (the kitchen). Lesson learned.

And finally - Christmas with the cousins at my parents' house (postponed from Christmas day for until a few days after since the Roberts kids were sick.) All the kids posing with their gifts (with the exception of Olive who was clinging to the Baby Snow White that Santa brought her.)

Wonderful Christmas filled with family and friends!
