Christmas 2009, Part 3

We were fortunate to make it out to Utah for a family reunion-like Christmas. It was the perfect first day there. It snowed most of the day. Vincent played in the snow, while my Dad and Dominic built a sledding track.

My brother and I devised a plan to surprise everyone with his presence. No one had any clue. It was nice have almost all the cousins, grandkids and great-grandkids there.

The boys had so much fun at Grandpa's house; playing with their aunts, uncles and cousins.

The boys received personalized messages from Santa. Dominic was speechless and smiled when he saw his. Vincent was super excited as you can see.

Our tradition for the night before Christmas is to read "Twas the night before Christmas." Mark cuddled up in bed with the boys and read the story to them. This is how they woke up the next morning.

Christmas day was a little chaotic, but so much fun.
