Christmas

Our first Christmas as a family of four was wonderfully crazy. We began the festivities at 5:30am since, Tommy had to work at 7am. We woke the girls up (hated to do it) and starting into the gifts that Santa left under the tree. After her bubba, Leila was more than happy with her new Surfin Elmo Rocker. She spent an hour on it giggling away. The only time she stopped was to clap her hands to the sounds of cheering that Olivia's new microphone made when she stepped on the "clapping" pedal. Olivia just cracks Leila up. The morning was a bit rushed but we had a ball just the same. Olivia was so excited when she opened the telescope that Santa had promised her. I had to set it up immediately and we took in the sights of a very quiet, early morning, down town Boston from our livingroom window. I think we have a Jr. astronomer in the family - as Livi can't wait to get up on the roof deck and check out the stars.





We three girls had a quiet morning playing and taking naps, then headed to my sisters for breakfast - which we sort of missed due to those much needed snoozes. From there we headed to the Nana & Papa Keaney's for dinner where Tommy met up with us after work.
