Christmas Morning

 It's Christmas!  Santa made a visit!

 A new hat for Bubba

And everything stopped while they each explored their books!  

"Daddy...you have a party with me?"  This little one can melt her Daddy's heart so fast!

We had a great Christmas this year!  Thank you to all who spoiled us rotten...we must have been very good this year!  The kids were so cute opening gifts, but I found it difficult to capture it all with baby Kellen in my arms.  We took all morning, and the kids took their time and played with everything!  Nealy was our quickest one, and was more than happy to help Kellen!

Christmas Happenings

We visited Santa

Kellen got to hang out with Daddy

We made lots of cookies and decorated them

And sometimes we decorated ourselves

This is the back of Wes' shirt after sitting next to Maeve

We made a gingerbread house, and decorated it too!

After Christmas Eve Mass

I Do NOT Need a Nap!

That's right, Mae-Mae.  You most certainly don't need a nap!

Performances a Plenty

 Angel Aidan

 Very serious (and tired) Angel Nealy

 Kellen is starting to smile!

 He was BEAMING

 Jingle Bells...with lots of bells!

 His class preforming "Way Down in Bethlehem"  

It's been a busy week!  We started off on Sunday with the kids performing at the end of mass with the Angel Choir.  Next year we will make sure to get better seats!  They both did very well, and it was fun to see so many little "angels"!  Aidan had his pre-school Christmas program yesterday.  SO stinking cute!  He was so proud to be singing for everyone!  Tomorrow is the last day of school before Christmas break, and boy are we all excited!  As Mae-Mae says "Ho Ho Ho is coming!"

Kellen's a month and playing catch up!

 The Boys

 Maeve loves to hold her baby!

 Kellen at a month old.  He weighed in at 11 pounds!

 A captured smile...yes, his face was a mess!

 After mom and dad got up for the day, Kellen and Maeve took over our bed!

 It finally got cold enough to have a fire!

 A couch workout for daddy!

Our early Christmas present!
