MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone reading our blog. We spent the holiday with our family and friends up at Shanti and Aimee's house. We spent Christmas Eve and then enjoyed the present tornado in the morning. Tiffany & Tommy were there for dinner with "little" Sam and Tommy's mom joined us as well. Below are some highlights of the evening/morning below:

Andrea with Serena, Lily & Shilah

Serena

Lily

Emory leaping from chair to couch...doesn't seem to matter where he is these days, always jumping!

Serena is also great at jumping

Tommy & Sam...for those of you who don't know, Sam is about 3 weeks older than Lily is

Sam (with Patriots passifer) surronded by Shilah, Tiffany, Andrea, Lily and you can barely make out Serena in the background

Shilah showing some tricks

Tiffany having some fun

Emory sliding down the pole

and the kids seem ready for bed...an hour plus later they were still up and had to be separated so they could get some sleep

and Shanti & Aimee...

...and Gabe & Andrea could relax a little.

before the present "playing" began

princess Shilah

Emory and his "flute"

Lily even got in on the action

Emory in his new hoodie playing with a pretty pink princess skate park...he ended up playing with a lot of pink toys today...
