Christmas Eve

Six steps to a great Christmas Eve!

Step 1: Sing Christmas carols...with a brush as your microphone
Step 2: Pretend you are Mary and give birth to baby Jesus
Step 3: Christmas Mass
Step 4: Christmas Eve dinner at Leo and Rachel's (Mark is obviously super excited)
Step 5: Sprinkle that magic sprinkley Reindeer food all over to make sure the reindeer don't miss Nonni's house


Step 6: "if we go to sleep right here, santa will come" -Emma

Lydia Noelle Dembinski

We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome baby Lydia into this world! Mary (Mark's sister) gave birth to their first baby on December 20. She's a precious gift and I have so much love for her already.

Emma's First Nutcracker Ballet

Little ballerinas going to their first Nutcracker Ballet: what a perfect little afternoon.

Photo Shoot Round 2

When we didn't think we got anything good for our Christmas card this year, we headed out and took a few more pictures hoping to get "the shot"... obviously these did not make the cut, but they were pretty funny! Love those girls!

Christmas at School

The girls have been off and on sick this holiday season and it's been tough missing events and getting anything done. Although we had to miss Juliana's Christmas Program, we were able to attend Emma's Christmas Party at school. The kids did great singing Christmas cheer for all to hear! Add a cookie, a drink and friends and you have a wonderful morning celebrating Christmas.
