Evie had a fantastic first Christmas surrounded by lots of family and friends! On Christmas Eve we traveled up to Spring Lake for a lovely couple of days. Evie was amazed by the beautiful big tree with the shiny globes that reflected the old-school colored lights that her Dad loves so much. We had the traditional McDonald spaghetti and meatballs dinner that night and started a new tradition by pulling the Christmas crackers that Casey had brought. Evie is all smiles these days!
The next morning, Santa had come! Evie participated in the great gift exchange and even helped unwrap a present or two. Everyone had a great time playing with the two babies -- Julianna and Evie -- before it was time to hit the hay. The next day Mom and Dad continued their tour of Nutcracker performances by taking in the show by the New York City Ballet. Both agreed that Boston Ballet is still the #1 Nutcracker, over Chicago, DC, New York, and Philadelphia. Mom can't wait to take Evie when she gets just a little bit older. While they were in the city, Evie had a great time strolling the Spring Lake boardwalk with Grandma and taking a nap on Popi's chest.
