O'Connor Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with my family last weekend.  My mom's family used to exchange gifts on the Epiphany, so we thought we would continue the tradition this year.  We went to mass on Sat night (just like we would have on Christmas Eve) and then had dinner and played games all night.  Presents and a big breakfast were slated in for "Christmas Morning".
My mom surprised all of us after dinner with matching pajamas. (My dream come true!)  The girls of the family were thrilled.  The men...they were troopers!  My mom probably should have taken the tags off before she gave them to my dad and Tom so they wouldn't have known they were wearing women's PJs.  

After dinner we enjoyed a round of Rack-O (Thank you to our God daughter for sending it to us. It has definitely been the most used Christmas gift of the season.  Great Game!) Then my mom pulled out this huge blob of saran wrapped gifts.  
Here's a video the game...so many laughs!
Tom cannot wait to wear these PJs again!
Sunday, (Christmas morning) was spent listening to Christmas music, enjoying a nice breakfast and opening presents.  
 Savannah was getting a little handsy.  



Some people play the piano with their hands.  Savannah chooses to use other body parts.  

 Showing off Katie's new hat.

 Savannah really got into unwrapping presents.
Great minds think alike.  These two got each other the EXACT SAME GIFT. Looks like we will be having a family BINGO night soon.
 It was the year of pajamas! I don't hate it :)
 We attempted a family picture one too many times for Savannah.  



And that's a wrap on Christmas celebration.
