Spending Christmas with beautiful girls is definitely in Peter Facinelli agenda. With his wife, Jennie Garth and their three daughters, Luca Bella, 12, Lola Ray, 7, and Fiona Eve, 3, “holiday is important” to his family. “It’s about being together and celebrating,” he said to People.
The New Moon actor whose got busy filming The Twilight Saga; Eclipse at Vancouver, while Jennie Garth his wife, busy to juggling between her role on 90210 and mom’s duty in Los Angeles. But this year the holidays have reunited the family to their Christmas holidays.
“I want to make sure I’m there with my kids,” says Peter. “They grow up quickly, and I want them to really experience each holiday. So we make sure every one of them is filled with joy and love.”
And plenty of fun. As soon as his daughters open their eyes on Christmas morning, each discovers a new snow globe awaiting them. “Santa leaves them in their room by their heads,” says Jennie. “We come downstairs in our jammies, and we light a fire even if it’s hot outside.”
“He leaves dirty soot footprints and cookie crumbs everywhere!” Peter says of their annual visitor, who devours homemade sugar cookies that the girls put out the night before. “The reindeer are very messy too,” adds Jennie. “They always leaves carrots all over the place!”
All is forgiven once Luca, Lola and Fiona add to the mess as they attack their own towering piles of gifts. “There is the ruckus of paper-ripping and boxes being thrown about,” says Peter. “Peter’s hands get numb by the end of the day after opening so many plastic packages,” adds Jennie.
The thought of Christmas while kid comes when he sees the scene, “I have memories of ripping open presents,”he recalls his Christmas morning memories with his three older sisters.
And Jennie, won’t left behind in memorized her Christmas too, on her family’s sprawling farm in rural Illinois. “I can remember riding horses in the snow,” says the actress. “It was idyllic, and the essence of Christmas was everywhere.”
Even they tear everything until “it looks like a bomb went off” says Jennie in laugh, but they are having the unforgotten feelings, “there’s such a peaceful feeling about the day,” says Jennie. As Peter puts it, “It’s heaven.”
Merry Christmas!
