We had an absolute blast this Christmas. It started with day one with Nani and great grandparents coming over for gifts and dinner. Then we celebrated with Grandpa Shestak by seeing lights, going to Bayside Church Jingle Jam and waking up to gifts from Santa. Finally, we had gifts and cheer with Grammy and Papi and wrapped up more fun than some people pack into a year. Check out the photos and the video at the bottom of Jacob preparing for Santa!
