Christmas with the Kavanagh's

With a trip planned to Washington for Christmas this year, we celebrated Christmas with the Kavanagh's the weekend before Santa was set to arrive.  Sean decided he needed a nice long nap at home so we were able to have a good visit with Bumpa, Grammy, Gramma and Papa before everyone else arrived.  Evan was entertaining everyone and enjoying the hors d'oeuvres.  Once everyone arrived, our house looked as if Santa had already arrived!  It is crazy to think about how much money is spent on gifts when we all say that we "don't need anything"!  We had fun opening presents and watching the little guys get so excited about each gift they opened...well except for the clothes!  The biggest hits were the Elmo guitar from Uncle Dan and Auntie Karin and the keyboard from Gramma and Papa.  Shortly after we finished opening gifts Santa drove by on a fire truck.  It was a little disappointing though because usually he comes by twice (up and down the street) but he only came once this year.  Oh well...Evan was the only one who really liked it anyway.  We also enjoyed Bruce's wonderful lasagna and other side dishes and of course we all ate too much!  And to think...this is just the beginning of the Christmas celebration!  Oh boy!
