Merry Christmas-Anniversary (PLUS A Silva Tradition Realized!!!)

A quick sneak preview of Benjamin's FIRST CHRISTMAS!!! We're on a plane tomorrow morning for Grandma and Grandpa Adams, so we opened presents early.

"Dad! Wake-up, I think Santa came downstairs". Okay, Benjamin really didn't say that, what he really said was, "Dad, wake Mom up so she can feed me again....".

Who's the kid? Setting the pace for Christmas' to come.

Benjamin finally starts to get the hang of this "Christmas-thing". Doesn't care much for what's inside, just happy to be ripping paper and making a mess!!!

Pop-pop Silva has made it a tradition to read "The Night Before Christmas" to his grandchildren over the years; no exceptions here!!!

"Pop-pop, hurry before Mom sees you - slip that cookie in to my mouth"

Two special men, sharing a very special moment.


Amidst all the Christmas Chaos, Mom and Dad sneak out for a 3rd Anniversary Dinner.

"What kids?"
