Abigail's 1st Christmas at Home!

As everyone knows, last year Abigail (and family) spent her Christmas in the NICU. We wanted to make this year extra special for her...and I think we did!!!

Christmas Eve is always at my parents house. Abigail attended her 1st Children's Mass, and then we headed home for the fun!!!!


The "boys" always have oysters...this year they decided to make shooters with the oysters. It was a hit and a new tradition! After that we had a GREAT dinner! My mom does a traditional Polish dinner with some added favorites!!!! After dinner, it was time for presents! Abigail got lots and lots of presents at Grandma's and Grandpa's! Some of the favorites were a wagon, little people toys, the cutest bathings suit in the world, tickets to Disney on Ice, and an adorable book holder full of Dr. Seuss books!


Abigail kept busy taking the books out of her book container! How cute is that????

We also got amazing gifts from my parents and sisters! Thank you everyone for all your gifts...they were so generous!

After gifts, it was time to head home for our 1st Christmas at our house! Abigail went right to sleep and we prepared for Santa!

Apparently Santa is Polish cause Rob left him Spirituis!

Santa always leaves one present unwrapped...so this is what it looked like on X-mas morning!


The Ball Pit was a HUGE Success!

Abigail's Winnie-the-Pooh ride on. Everything makes noise!
Daddy taught Abigail to put the wrapping paper in a neat pile when she opens....Oh Vey!
After we opened presents as a family, Nana and Papa came over for even more presents! Once again, Abigail made out like a champ! She got a 2nd wagon (lucky girl) and a whole bunch of John Deere presents!!!!!! We also got great gifts from Nana and Papa...thank you for everything! We feel very lucky!


Here is Abigail with her new John Deere slippers!!!! Too cute!!!!

After Christmas with Nana and Papa, it was time to head over to Great Nani and Papa's for Rob's family's Christmas. The food was amazing, as always!!!! It's a big family so gifts take a long time, but it's so wonderful! We just took our time and opened all the gifts...it was so much fun. Thank you to everyone forAbigail's gifts...and for ours!!!!
I'd say Abigail's 1st Christmas at home was a success!!!!!!! Thank you to all to made it so special for her!


I apparently only take pics of Abigail...so for those who have other pics (Kate, Neici, Mom) if you could send them to me then I could do a 2nd Christmas post!
We can't wait to see what next Christmas brings!!!!!!!
