Another Yandek Family Christmas has come and gone, complete with all the family, food and gifts that make Christmas so much fun, so enjoyable, and so ridiculously crazy. Libby enjoyed everything about the season, although judging by the gifts she received it was more of a
Feliz Navidad than a Merry Christmas! While we encourage Libby to speak American, she really loves Dora and Co., thereby adding a decidedly Latin flavor to Libby's Christmas.
Mary's first Christmas was not as eventful as was Libby's. For Libby's first Christmas, she was able to get around, rip paper, and generally make a mess. Mary, on the other hand, slept, cried, spit up and slept some more. She made out like a bandit in the gift department. Although, regardless of what the gift tags said, all gifts were Libby's gifts.
Christmas Eve began with breakfast with Grammie and Papa Hanna. Mommy was actually off work this year on Christmas Eve, so it was family all day! After breakfast, Uncle Tony and Aunt Nellie came over to cook while Libby and Mom delivered Christmas Cookies and Cheer to some relatives nearby. In the evening, it was off to Grammie and Papa Yandek's for fish, presents and a visit from one sad-looking Santa Claus (sorry Papa!). Christmas Morning was full of presents at home, Mass at St. Pat's, more presents at Grammie and Papa Yandek's and dinner, presents and cousins at Grammie and Papa Hanna's. The Yandek Ladies did so well in the gift department, Daddy actually had to go home and unload the car and come back. Everyone must have been very good this year!
As eventful as Christmas was, New Year's was the exact opposite. Everyone in the Yandek Household was sick with colds, ear infections, etc., so New Year's Eve and New Year's Day were spent at home, in pjs. The only reason anyone actually saw the ball drop is because someone was up crying. It's okay, though, after all the foolishness and mayhem of Christmas, it was nice to have a few (relatively) quiet days at home together. Happy New Year!
