Christmas with the Biagini's

With Christmas falling on a Wednesday this year, it made the most sense to celebrate the weekend prior in Grapevine with Dave and Cindy. We drove up on Thursday afternoon and stayed until Sunday, so it made for a nice extended weekend!

On Friday night, we went to Mia's (duh, where else?!) and then walked around downtown Grapevine to look at the decorations, see Santa, and watch the tree light show. Unfortunately, it was freeeeezing cold outside so we didn't stay for too long. Nico did enjoy dancing some to the music and light show.

He wasn't so sure about Santa this year. It took some persuading of daddy and papa to even get him near!




And here's a little piece of our Saturday morning. He cracks me up.




Even "Kitty-bo" made the trip! That is what Nico named his Elf on the Shelf, who watches him during the day and then reports back to Santa at night. I can't say that it inspired Nico to be better behaved, but it is a cute thing to watch him try to find the new placement of the elf every morning.




Saturday was our "Christmas." It was low key for the first half of the day, just hanging around the house. Nico hasn't been sleeping too well this weekend, so we kept our fingers crossed that he would take an extra long nap to make up for it! Cindy spoiled me by taking me to get a pedicure that afternoon while the guys stayed home with our little napper. Absolute heaven!





You are guaranteed a great meal when you go to the Biagini's! This year we had lasagna for our Christmas dinner.




And let the gift opening begin...









He is always trying to open things with his mouth?!...
 


One of his favorite gifts... an indoor hockey set! (and Dave looks pretty pumped in the background too, haha!)








Cheers with his new Mickey glass!............




Our first part of Christmas was a success! It was really nice to get to spend a long Christmas-filled weekend with the Biagini's, especially since this was our first one away.
