Christmas Time

Christmas came & went way to fast this year. I cannot believe that our crazy schedule resumes tomorrow...and I'm kind of dragging my feet about it! We had such a great relaxing winter break that was filled with friends coming into town to visit, as well as family. 

We started the break off by going to see the Alvin & the Chipmunk: Chipwrecked movie. It was such a cute movie & Lilianna really enjoyed!
 Christmas Eve day I was able to meet-up with a girlfriend from high school. We hit our usual spot, Town Square, but we couldn't do sushi this time so we ate at Tommy Bahamas.....yummy!! Lilianna opened her traditional Christmas Eve gift, aka new Christmas PJs.
 Christmas morning was filled with opening presents, playing with our new toys, going to brunch at our friends' house, followed by attending church. I really enjoy having Christmas on a Sunday, it just sets the tone & reminds you of why we truly celebrate this holiday.
                     "My new castle!!" She loves this toy :)

            Riding in her Mini Cooper with Chippy (her homemade Elf on the Shelf).
   Opening gifts with Daddy & Mommy. Of course Lilianna had to help open EVERY single gift :)

 Christmas Time is usually filled with Cannolis....well I should say when Nana & Papa come to town=Cannoli Time! Yummy!!
 At Bucca Di Beppo waiting for Daddy & our table. This is a request of Papa's every time he comes to visit.
                                                                          Sisters :)
The Muppet Movie was on the list of things to do while Papa was in town & can I just say that was the funniest movie I have seen all year! It was awesome & the music fantastic...who doesn't love the Muppets?!

We also made a quick trip up to St. George to visit family, eat at the Honolulu Grill (Kalua Pig & Guava Cake!!), as well as take Tia's wedding dress to the alteration lady. Only 6 more months to go! Lilianna also picked out her new "Purple Princess" dress for the wedding since little miss will be one of the flower girls :) We cannot wait for the big day!
