Max got to sit in a high chair designed to sit inside a booth...pretty cool!
Before we knew it, it was time to go to church then to Granny & Grandpa's house. Lucy wore another hand-me-down dress and Max wore a Gymboree sweater I bought on Ebay so he could coordinate with his sweet big sister.
Both kids were great in church - they fell asleep! It was PACKED! We got there 30 minutes early and still had to stand. Lucy was whiny at first but apparently she was just sleepy because we found Donna and Ashley, and Donna offered to hold Lucy - and within a few minutes of being picked up, she was sound asleep on Auntie!
Max was sleepy, too, but was fighting it so I had to take him outside to get him to sleep. Once we came back in, he snoozed through most of the rest of mass.
In past years, we have gone to my parents house, Aunt Debbie & Uncle Steve's house or Donna & Bob's house after church. There, we'd have dinner and do a name-drawing-gift-exchange. After that, everyone would head to Granny & Grandpa's house. This year, we decided to cut out the middle-man and do everything at Granny's.

Lucy loved her gift (a Shopkins refrigerator) from Granny & Grandpa so much she hugged it!
Lucy loved giving Uncle Jason (her godfather) his gift and loved all of the Super Barbie stuff her got for her! She also got walkie talkies from John T and she and Lucia had a great time playing with those...in fact, they were having tons of fun pretending with them before they even had batteries in them!
Both Max and Lucy love it at Granny & Grandpa's house - lots of friends and lots of space to run around like wild animals!
We couldn't stay too late because we had to get home and set out Santa's cookies and get a good night's sleep!
**************************************************************
Santa did not disappoint - Lucy and Max must have been pretty good kids this year! Lucy woke up first and we read books and played in her room for a just a little bit but then decided to wake the babyguy up!
Max was a little confused but he was definitely intrigued! He got a new Mickey couch (so he doesn't have to steal his sister's princess couch!), a vacuum, a bowling set, some books and lots of other fun things to play with!
Lucy was pretty pleased with her gifts, too...she got lots of Monster High dolls, a big Lego Friends set, too many Shopkings, the Bitty Twins boy to go with the Bitty Twins girl GranJan got her when she was pretty bitty herself, and lots of other fun stuff!

Once the living room was officially declared a disaster area, Daddy and Lucy decided to get busy on her new Lego set...while Max and I decided to take a nap!
We had a very wonderful Christmas morning!
