Christmas 2010

This year Christmas was quite special in the Hassman-Maycunich household!  Mainly because we were blessed with our most precious gift, AVERY.  Todd and I couldn't be more joyful that we are now a family of 4, and that our children are happy and healthy.

Christmas Eve was spent at our house with Todd's and my families.   Everyone had such a great time.  And of course loved holding the baby!

This Christmas was really fun.  Nolan is at an age where he "gets it" this year, he understands the concept of Santa, and he loved opening all of the presents.  He especially loved the Wii and his remote control cars.

On Christmas morning Nolan was so happy that Santa had visited.  I think he initially thought that Santa would be here when he awoke, but was thrilled there was presents under the tree for him.  Santa even ate the cookie and drank the milk that Nolan had left for him.

His favorite Santa present, RC Lightning McQueen

Christmas Day was spent at Grandma and Grandpa Hassman's for brunch.  The food was delicious and Nolan and Avery got even more presents!

The Excitement and Anticipation of Christmas!

Our Nolan is getting so excited about Christmas this year. 

He loves our Christmas Tree.

He is so anticipating the Christmas Gifts, and of course Santa's arrival.  

He is excited about the stockings, and leaving cookies for Santa.

He has been taking in everything for the past few weeks.

He is so cute about it all!

And I don't know who is more excited....Nolan or me?

I loved the magic of Christmas as a child, but now I get to experience it through the eyes of my child, and I think that is even more amazing!  

Sugar Cookie Snowmen

In the spirit of the holidays, Nolan and I attempted to make Sugar Cookie Snowmen today.  I had a little difficulty getting the dough to cooperate for the cookie cutter.  But Nolan and I had lots of fun anyway.  He definitely had fun decorating the cookies.
