Opening Gifts on Christmas Eve

As per the Austrian tradition, we open gifts really late on Christmas eve, after Mass, and dinner. Santa comes, the boys hide in their bedroom, and then the presents appear. Here is Cory and Uncle Vic with the very popular Pizza Pie game....Aunt Sarina and Joshua.... didn't change the view
Crazy opening of the gifts...
Learning to play Chess...
A gift from Rudolph...


Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

A letter to Santa....written by Max
Very interesting times: we celebrate St. Nicholas Day, the Birth of Christ, and Santa coming - it is hard to keep all the traditions and ideas straight and organized for the boys!!!!

A Christmas picture with Mommie...

The Christmas Tree goes up...

Here is our fabulously fake Christmas Tree that we pull out of storage every year. It looks like a real tree.... and it has been around for about 8 years now. It looks better in real life, and I love it more and more each year! Lots of photos on the tree depicting the boys at various ages and stages....

More Christmas Pagents....

Max and Bruno in dress rehearsal for the children's mass: they are two of the three kings, and both are very excited about being in the church play!!!!Bruno's fantastic preschool play. Bruno is one of the donkeys, or horse, that came to Bethlehem. He really wanted to be one of the kings, but his wish came true because he will be a king for the Children's Mass.
Bruno and the fantastic Mrs. Eng...our favourite teacher!!!
Bruno and Miss Campos, also our favourite teacher...




This is our last Christmas play at St. Francis of Assisi Preschool, which makes me very sad, indeed. However, lots more exciting Christmas plays in elementary school await the boys!
