Christmas


The boys had a fantastic Christmas and we all enjoyed seeing Santa through the eyes of a child.  Between Santa, Aunts and Uncles, Friends, and Grandparents these two boys opened enough gifts to start a day care facility.  Everyone is so thoughtful and generous -- these boys are truly blessed (and yes a bit spoiled too!).

We stayed home for Christmas Eve and Day which was so relaxing.  It was great to be in PJ's for 2 days without the challenge of travel.   Plus with the Sunday holiday, we also all had Monday together to hang out and play.  It really was a great family holiday weekend.

Fortunately we were able to coax a few visitors and had a nice dinner with Scanlon's on Friday night.  Then on Christmas Eve we had Nana and Grampy Conley come up and spend the night.

Our family - We are so blessed!
On Christmas morning we discovered that Santa had arrived and had brought lots of toys for the boys.  Uncle Matt and Aunt Erin joined us for breakfast and some more unwrapping.

Christmas Loot --- kids must have been on the 'Good Boy' list.  Big OSU bean bag chair from Papa Tom; Santa brought Thomas Train table, Woody doll, a helicopter, and some clothes and toiletries; Grandparents McDonald sent boxes of trucks and a big ride around car in background. Nana and Grampy sent Toy Story Imaginix set.


On his own, Liam gathered his toys and surrounded himself.   The green frog is from Uncle Matt and Aunt Erin along with lots of other neat stuff.


Quinn loving his singing frog and monkey.   Is the frog staring at Quinn?


Kids were all wired so we couldn't get a "nice" photo -- but we got at least one shot with grandparents

It was a fabulous Christmas.  We are so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.

Merry Christmas to all!
