Christmas in Wheaton

This year we celebrated Christmas in Wheaton!  We started with dinner at Long Loi's (yummy Vietnamese place in downtown Wheaton, now in a new location).  Then we went to the popcorn shop:

This is how big and wide the popcorn shop is!  It was an alley between two buildings.

We spent Christmas Eve at Mom & Dad K's new house with the whole family:

We were so lucky to get this perfect family picture

Christmas morning:

Santa brought a few presents for the girls all the way to Wheaton!

Wow! Jess got a robot, Katie got an iPhone, and Megan got...

...a telescope!

Jess set up her robots right away

And Megan set up her telescope, too.  She spied on neighbors during the day, and then saw the full moon at night

Jess coding on the iPad mini to make her robot move, talk, change colors, etc.

A true teenager, with an iPhone and a Vera Bradley purse!

Little chefs making ebelskivers

All dressed up for Christmas Mass

We visited Grandma Postorino

Then home to open more presents from G&G Kennedy!

On the 26th, we went to the mall to shop for a First Communion dress for Jessica, at the same store we went for Katie & Megan.  Grandma K. has generously bought each of the girls a beautiful dress, and it's so much fun to watch them try on a dozen dresses and narrow it down to their favorite one.  I think this was 2nd place...if you want to see the winner, you'll have to wait til her First Communion on April 24th!
