It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

December was a GREAT month for Matt and Andrea! All month they were looking forward to Christmas morning with Joe!
On the 14th they had Marylou and Robert over for the Tree Decorating Party! Joe had picked out the Tree topper and Matt helped him place it just right!

Christmas Eve was at Matt and Andrea's house, Ned, Doe (Matt's parents), Marylou and Robert all came over.
Joe told Marylou, "Marylou - I want a 6 person kazoo party!" and so they did ... Ned, Doe, Marylou, Robert, Joe and Matt ... six people ... perfect!

Christmas Morning was MAGICAL! Joe woke Matt and Andrea at 6:30, they all came out to see that Santa had been there, he ate the cookies and had some milk and the reindeer had nibbled the celery! He left some pretty great stuff in their stockings, too!

Joe opened presents and then had fun shaped pancakes! They were 'cookie-cutter-d' from round pancakes and Joe LOVED them!

The favorite gifts this Christmas included:

Andrea - Anniversary ring that Matt was working on for 4-ish months and a matching set of jewelry - earrings, bracelet and necklace.


Matt - Bike helmet, he just joined the Cucina Fresca Flying Tomatoes bicycle team!


Joe - LEGOS a vehicle, dinosaur, city police station, helicopter pad with helicopter - they had GREAT fun putting it all together! He is now a Candy Land cheater extrordinaire (thanks uncle johner) and he loves his harmonica!

All in all it was a FANTASTIC Christmas!
