Christmas 2010

What a great Christmas! We were so lucky to have everyone healthy this year! We kicked everything off on the 23rd with a great Heffron Christmas at Grandma's house where the kids were spoiled rotten by Grandma, Paul, Mitch, and Megan! They had the best time opening everything and were literally tripping over the hundreds of toys laying around the living room! :) Then, we were all off to the Martins for a nice Christmas Eve party the next night.

On Christmas Day, we made our rounds. We stopped to see the Gilbrides in the morning for a wonderful brunch, where the kids continued to get spoiled :) Then, home for much needed naps before stopping in to see the Ferry clan over at Dan's. Finally, on to Papa and Yaya's to see the Chisholms, and for a special treat...Grandma Heffron came too! It was a whirlwind, but all very fun. Here are the pics!

The boys in Mitch's bed on Christmas Eve. This is their favorite time of day - right before baths, we put them in there together and they have the time of their lives. It is hilarious to watch and listen to them in there shrieking with delight! :)



Mitch loves "open shut them"!


Faith reading to the kids on Christmas Eve


Leaving cookies, milk, and reindeer food for Santa (I wonder how Santa will get over that gate in the fireplace?)


Finn must have been really good this year...


Santa was here!

There's always one party pooper in the kids' Christmas picture. Guess who it was this year...

Daddy and Grandma getting Finn's ears. There are "guys" living in Finn's ears, but this is another story. Ask him and he'll tell you all about it.
