The Start of the Holiday Season

The start of the holiday season has officially arrived here in our world.  With a few days off we headed down to Illinois to celebrate Thanksgiving, and then Christmas with the Rivera side of the family.  We caught up with a lot of our cousins on Thursday, and welcomed a new cousin, Grace Elizabeth, on Friday.  We spent time with Marc on Friday as well, teaching him all about building forts and playing Angry Birds (two very important life skills).  We were finally able to give Gigi and Pop Pops the cool platter we made for them as well, and good thing because we couldn't keep it a secret any longer.  We dove head first into all of our gifts, and with a little help from Titi Molly and Uncle Craig we were well on our way to a fun day of play with all of our new stuff.  If this trip is an indication of how the holidays are going to go this year, I'd say we're in for a good time!
