Damian had a wonderful Christmas Eve! We spent part of the afternoon at Aunt Jane and Uncle Russel's house (Allen Family Christmas). It was so much fun seeing all of the little ones running around and I can't believe next year Dami won't just being crawling after but right in there running! After the Allen Christmas we headed to my parents for Pereda Christmas. The tamales and menudo were wonderful! It was fun to see everyone there! I forgot to take pictures that day so hopefully I can get some from anyone who did take pictures!
We headed home about 9 to get a nap in before midnight Mass! We thought for sure that Dami would sleep through the whole thing but he had different plans! Everything was absolutely beautiful with the whole church decorated beautifully and packed with people! Bishop celebrated the Mass and we were truly blessed by being there! We are so happy to have our home parish at St. Patricks. Even though Dami didn't sleep he did pretty well. He just loves to talk and with all the people to look at it is hard to be quiet!
After Mass we headed home and Dami had another burst of energy and wanted to play. We ended up opening our gifts when we got home since Dami was already up! After gift opening we finally headed to bed and slept until about 10! Here are the pictures from opening gifts:

That's our family tradition - gifts after Midnight Mass!
