We V's had a fantastic Christmas week and hope that all of you did too! On Christmas Eve, we went to our Granny's house for some fun with P's family. There were lots of relatives, including many kids for Little N to play with. I think a fun time was had by all!
Then, at night, Little N's Mooma and Boompa flew in for the holidays. We were sooo excited to see them and extra excited that they would be staying with us! Little N was fast asleep when they got here, so he got an extra special surprise on Christmas morning. Santa not only brought him some super sweet presents, but he left Mooma and Boompa too! He must have given them a ride in his sleigh from Paris! (They took a little trip before coming to visit.)
On Christmas Day, we started out with a yummy brunch at P's relatives house. This is a yearly tradition which starts with tons of good food and usually ends with some card playing or dominoes. 
We skipped out on the games this year to head to S's uncle's house in Hastings to celebrate with the V's. Little N had a great day and behaved very well for only getting a 30 minute nap!
Here is Little N's Mooma. 
This handsome little guy on the left is the cute little M, who happens to be S' godson. He was looking especially dapper in a little suit and tie this year.

Little N got a super sweet recliner from Santa, which is perfect for watching Elmo movies! He even has a cup holder! Santa thought that maybe this would be a good gift since Little N REALLY likes recliners. When people come to our house to visit, they are always a little surprised when their feet fly in the air after sitting on the couch. Everyone has to have their feet up when Little N is around!

On Friday, morning S had to go to work, so P, Little N, and Mooma and Boompa went on a shopping adventure at the Mall of America. Mooma wanted to see her sister and we found out that her niece MO is going to have a baby! She is due about 6 weeks after P(there must be something in the water!) They already had plans for a day of maternity clothes shopping, which P was more than happy to participate in! S was very nice and had given P a gift certificate to get some clothes for Christmas, so she was ready to go! We all headed to the mall and met a bunch of Mooma's family for a fun morning of shopping. Auntie A had to work, so Uncle M and Cousin J came to hang out with us too! That evening, we had a V family Christmas with just Mooma, Boompa, and S' sibling's families. Nathan was very excited that he got to play with Cousin J again!
The little ones both got Elmo's this year that talk and dance, so they had a great time playing with them and dancing along!
On Saturday, we just had a lazy day with Mooma and Boompa. They had to catch a flight home that evening and I think we were all partied out! Little N did manage to squeeze in a little milestone this weekend between all the fun. Boompa and Daddy put Little N's last Christmas present together on Saturday morning, which was a big boy bed from Mommy and Daddy. P was so excited to give it to him, but then once the crib was all taken down and Little N was happily jumping on his new bed, she realized that her baby boy is growing up and was kind of sad. How does the time pass so fast??
After Mooma and Boompa left, Little N went to visit with his Grancy for the night. P has some really good friends that don't get into town too often, so we try to get together at least once around Christmas every year. We had a fun night out at The Happy Gnome in St. Paul(some of you may remember this as the starting point of S' pedal pub adventure). S and P went to pick up Little N on Sunday morning and brought him home for a relaxing day at home before we all begin our week. As you can see, both S and Little N were quite wiped out from our days of fun! 
We hope you all had a fantastic holiday season! We sure do feel lucky to have such wonderful friends and family! What a great week! Love,
P, S, and Little N
