MERRY CHRISTMAS! Today we celebrated Mass with the Lacayo, Blasko and Sikora gang, but headed out after Mass to do the traditional Sikora Christmas.... McDonald's, the reading of The Very First Christmas, singing Silent Night, and a gift exchange! Cookies, coffee and good company. Will has told us on several occasions that the true meaning of Christmas is "giving". However... I happen to think it's togetherness. Being able to share these memories with family from both sides is priceless. We are loving every moment.
some of the little things I don't want to forget about this night.... Will was super sweet and on his best behavior today. Also, when asked about church, he replied that he got to sing his favorite song at Mass... and started singing "Away in A Manger." When Isa got her necklace from baby Grayson, she ran over to Gramma and exclaimed "this is what I always wanted from you!"... she thought it was Gramma's necklace she loved, it was precious! Gabi was so excited this Christmas and kept exclaiming "PRESENTS." Gabi did great opening her presents and was real anxious to help others! I loved how the kids gave hugs and how they were so thankful for their gifts. There was pure honest excitement and happiness in their eyes!
Bapa and Gramma with the lil ones... and reading the Christmas story.
Will got a coveted Trio Gears set!!!! Isa got a beautiful bed for her favorite doll!!! Gabi got a new baby doll with a PACI!
Gift Exchanges!
(Isa got a lovely necklace, crafts and paper from Grayson; Will got a new Transformers Bumblebee from Chloe; and Gabi got a cute dress and bath toys from Millie! They were more than thrilled!)
