Declan's first christmas and Aidan's first full-fledged realization of what is actually going on.

With a houseful of guests and family we enjoyed a full, relaxing days of gifts and each other's company. Uncle David, Auntie Bean, Uncle Greg and Aunt Anita, Maga, Mama, Papa and the boys all exchanged gifts and enjoyed the afternoon assembling and playing with new toys. The evening brought a fantastic Christmas dinner with our second "Turkey in a paper bag" preparation. This bird was better than the first we prepared this way for Thanksgiving. Papa shot some christmas video that will appear soon on the new JVC camera that Meme and Grandpapa purchased for the family..

The boys had a great christmas receiving clothes, toys and movies from all their relatives. Mama and the boys went off to the mall to exchange some clothing that was a bit small for Aidan. He is growing like a weed lately. Declan now has two bottom front teeth that are causing him a bit of grief but not when he has the chance to take something and munch on it.

One thing is for certain this christmas season, the realization that we are truly blessed to be where we are with an abundance of everything.
