Christmas in South Bend

This year we headed to South Bend to spend Christmas with the Ruszkowski's. We had such a great time! We ate Sunny Italy food, we had a party on Christmas Eve, Father Dave said mass at maw maws house, we made snow angels, met Santa Claus, opened lots and lots of presents and rode on the sled.
Get ready for picture overload! And I am still missing a few I will add later haha.
Have you ever seen such a cute elf?!
Christmas Eve we spent with all of the Ruszkowski's and after we opened presents and had dinner Santa came! The kids loved it! Lilly decided she wanted to get close to him but still not close enough for him to touch her haha.

Biggie of course was a hit with all the ladies. As the night went on and he got more tired it just about took all 4 of us!! haha
Lilly of course wanted to wear the tutu that cousin Vivie gave her.
and the hat, gloves, and scarf that Grandma Rutz gave her..
then Pinckney decided to wear it haha
It is always fun to see what the Aunts and Uncles get every year. As you can see they think it is pretty funny as well!!
I have gotten a photo of the kids every year sleeping waiting for Santa...
When we woke up Christmas morning, SANTA HAD COME!!
MiMi and Lilly had several tea parties!
He even left some fun hats for us all to wear!
That afternoon there was alot of good snow on the ground so Lilly, Pinckney, Dzia Dzia and I took the sled for a ride and when we came back what is the best thing on cold days..hot chocolate!!
We were sad to have to leave, Maw Maw house was probably thankful after the tornado we brought with us haha. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
