Christmas Day

The boys were very excited Christmas morning to see everything that Santa brought.  Eamon got a bike and Brady got a ride-on toy.  Santa brought a wagon for them to share - and they quite enjoyed hanging out in the wagon that morning.

Around lunchtime MamaMarie, Papa, Uncle Ely, Aunt Jen and Nick showed up.  We ate a very yummy dinner and then exchanged gifts.

Where's Brady?

And the gift of the year.  Eamon's Innotab.

 or "game thing" as he calls it.

We had a great Christmas!  It was so fun celebrating with the boys this year.

Our Little Shepherd

Eamon was also a shepherd at the Christmas Eve children's mass at our church.

Christmas in Atlanta

While we were in Atlanta we celebrated Christmas with Ed's family. 

Brady decided to stand on Kathleen's gift.

Cousins

Kathleen's 2nd Birthday Party

We were excited to be able to help Kathleen celebrate her 2nd Birthday!

Ed entertained the kids in the front yard for a while.

 The kids enjoyed some ornament making.

 A little fun with sidewalk chalk.

 Pin the Tail on the Donkey

 Ice cream cake

I don't have any pictures of the Elmo pinata, but that ended terribly anyways.  

Poor Elmo was decapitated and the birthday girl was a bit traumatized!

Atlanta Trip - Part 1

Eamon and Brady had a great time playing with their cousins.

 They also had a great time playing with their Godcousin Jacob

Pass me a beer, Jake

School Christmas Program

Eamon was a shepherd at his school's Christmas program.

 Poor little Brady was supposed to be an angel, but was burning up with a temp.  We gave him some meds and by the end of the program he had perked up a little.  He even managed to climb up on stage

 Brady stayed home with Ed the next day and around 5pm we found ourselves at the After Hours Clinic and Brady had a 105 degree fever.  Luckily it was just an ear infection and he recovered quickly!
