Christmas through their eyes...

Remember when I told you about a few of my favorite things? Well this post is all about seven of them... my nieces and nephews. This Christmas was truly magical watching the excitement in their eyes as Santa Claus appeared or a present with shiny wrapping paper was placed in front of them. Watching all of them only made me more excited for the Christmases to come with our own family.

We spent Christmas Eve at my mom and dad's house... and Santa made a surprise appearance! Look at Sophie's face as she heard sleigh bells... such wonder and anticipation.

Santa arriving from the chimney upstairs?

Noah plays his part as the oldest cousin too well :)

Patrick's first Christmas

Watching Christmas through their eyes reminds us all what it was like to be little again.

Santa also showed up for Christmas morning at the O'Neill's house to see Brendan and Mae! It was Brendan's first Christmas and Mae entertained us for hours with her excitement and her songs :)

Like I said, we were entertained all week at various Christmas celebrations by our nieces and nephew...
