Mann/Mokrzecki Family Christmas 2008
Today we plan to spend the afternoon with my brother, his girlfriend, Jennifer, my grandmother and my parents in Martinsville to celebrate the holiday! My cousin, Jaime is also here visiting before she relocates to San Francisco. It has been nice having her close (Chicago) so she can join us for family gatherings but now we will have an easy excuse to go west!
We are in the midst of our Christmas celebrations. Todd and TJ spent Christmas Eve in Columbus visiting with Todd's uncle and cousin visiting from Massachusettes.
TJ allowed us to sleep in Christmas morning until 7 a.m. I hope this is a trend that continues into his teen years! We enjoyed opening presents. TJ did a great job shopping for Todd and I at the school's secret santa shop. It is obvious that he put a lot of thought into each gift. Santa delivered TJ's precious Ipod Touch. He is now completely tuned out listening (and singing) to tunes while he plays his video games! Santa and I are going to have a talk before Trevor sits on his lap next year!
After cooking our annual breakfast we ventured to Columbus to share the day with Todd's family at his brother and sister-in-law's home. It is wonderful that they host family events! It was a very nice day!
Each of the kids received gifts that lit up their faces. The youngest, our nephew, Ethan recieved a batman cave toy that was "the best gift ever", Tyler and TJ both were in video game heaven and Todd, TJ and I surprised the oldest, Devin with a combo birthday (February)/Christmas gift - an Ipod Touch. Something he also really wanted!
Just check out the looks of surprise on their faces!
