Our holidays were wonderful, very busy, but wonderful. Between Christmas at our home, Vero Beach and Lakeland; our traditional Polish Wigilia dinner in Vero; Crystal's birthday gathering; New Year's; and my birthday in January, we felt a bit like ping pong balls! It is always good to see family though and we are blessed to have such great families on both sides. We love you all.

Here are a few photos from Christmas morning, which we started at our house about 5 am and moved to fire station 50 since Bubba had to work on Christmas.

Mattie asked Santa for candy canes and Santa delivered!


Bubba gave Mattie her first real necklace...a princess crown.

Opening presents at the fire station.

Not sure if Teag liked the gifts or the wrapping paper more.

Teag got Mattie the airplace she wanted. He picked it out with help from Mommy of course.

"Bubba, you are my father" Bubba could not resist getting this Darth Vader costume for Teag.
