Christmas Eve...

Yes, I know... its 11:26 pm on Christmas Eve and I am still up. My company just left and Greg and I put all the gifts from "Santa" under the tree. I have so much to share from Guiliana's first Christmas Eve (and of course I can't fall asleep yet) so I thought I would fill you all in.
Here is how this morning started...



I was in charge of the desert tonight so Guiliana and I made a Pumpkin Gingerbread Triffle! YUMMO! Of course she wanted to help.




THEN, off to Joanna's to bake cookies. She dug right in and even ate the dough! (and showing off our new car seat now that we are such a big girl!)







So after a good nap it was time for Great Grandma and Grandpa Tortora, Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Pauly to come over for dinner and desert.
She had some fun entertaining herself by the tree tonight for quite sometime.





Some "family time"



Letting her open one gift on Christmas Eve - this one is from Uncle Pauly.





And finally... Santa has come and all the gifts are in their place.


My Christmas Wish...

My dearest Guiliana... thank you for being the light of our lives. You have brought a whole new meaning to Christmas for me and your daddy. I waited a long time for you and you have certainly made my heart whole. You are truly the best Christmas gift ever. Nothing else can compare to the love you have given me. Thank you for letting me be your mommy. I love you baby girl XOXOXO
Merry Christmas!
