Christmas Eve with Grandparents

We had a delicious spaghetti dinner after Mass and then time for opening presents with Grandma and Grandpa! Maya was so excited!! She helped each of us with our gifts and was truly excited and happy with every one.... The pictures go backwards (oops).


The wreckage ;)


The recordable Night Before Christmas. Hallmark will NOT ask us to make a commercial, hehehe.


Grandma opening her Pandora Christmas Tree bead.



Maya with her remote control My Little Pony motorcycle. This was so fun for everyone - definitely a Christmas-present-top-three for us.


Daddy was happy with his peanuts, hehehe. A good snack for when he watches his "Christmas Story" dvd and drinks from his penguin cup. We gotcha covered, Dad.


Grandpa with a new "Maya-tie"


Maya helped all of us open our gifts (she's just helpful like that, hahaha). Here she's helping Grandpa open his music box that plays, It's a Wonderful World. That's the last song on the lullaby cd that I played when I put her to bed as a baby. She always knew it was time to go to sleep when she heard that one start. It's always been a favorite of Wayne's and Maya calls it "my song".


Grandma and Grandpa gave Wayne a new shirt. Stylin' !

Wayne gave us each a box of Turtles (check out grampy's bulging cheek). It was appreciated by all!



Maya helping Grandma open her Fanny May.



Grandma gave Maya new outfits!!! You rock, Grandma!!

I took the pictures so you'll just have to pretend I'm opening a K cup holder from Grandma and Grandpa. Wayne was so cute and gave me a box with three envelopes. The first one said "take this" and there was some money inside. The second one said, "here" and there was a business card for Ashley's Jewelry, and the third one said, "and do this". There was a picture of my engagement ring inside and he had written "resize" on it.
