Ok, before January is over, I must finish telling you about our Christmas #2 in Boston! This has become a tradition for our family that we love, of course. It's great because the kids get to spend Christmas Eve in their own beds and see that Santa has visited our home, but after all of the excitement has died down, we jump in the car and head to Mimi and Papi's house for even more fun! We normally get a hotel halfway on the way there and back so the kids love that too.
We got to Mimi and Papi's house and the kids were so so excited. Of course, there were presents to be opened that evening. Kaitlyn was given a real 'American Girl' doll. She named her 'Alyssa' and was so happy. Mikey received an entire patriots uniform including a helmet and shoulder pads. He was one happy boy!!!!
Then all of the cousins came over for fun- Ryan, John, Danny, uncle Matt and auntie Dina all came for some fun!
Playing with Uncle Kevin (A. D. A. Uncle Kevin, that is!!)
Uncle Kevin got Mikey some super cool spiderman Legos
The next day, we played with some of our fun, new toys and Kaitlyn and Mikey helped Mimi make their absolute favorite- spaghetti and meatballs!! Aunt Winnie came over to visit (the kids call her their 'other grandmother'!). Ryan, John and Danny came over and we all opened even MORE presents! My goodness!!!
The next day we had fun hanging out at the house with kelsie. The kids loved playing with Papi!
Then we went to visit Ryan and John at their house. We even stayed the night. We played fun games and the kids all shared the bunkbeds at night!
The kids even got to help uncle Matt and daddy take down a wall!!!
And then, before you knew it, it was over and time to come home. But, not before some fun swimming in the hotel pool on the drive. See you in Disney Burke family!!
