It has been so difficult to get myself to post lately, but I'm going to make a new year's resolution to post weekly with photos. I feel like when I actually do have some spare time I end up doing house work-- no fun. I have an ongoing list of things I'd like to get done in 2009 such as Eli's baby book and scrapbook, updating Keenan's baby book, and finally putting together our wedding scrapbook. That's a laugh. Aaron is always making fun of my ongoing effort to produce our wedding scrapbook. I will get it done one of these days.
We had our very first "Grown Up" Christmas. It was the first Christmas when Aaron and I were able to stay in town and decide what "we" wanted to do. We just had to spend Christmas Day with Aaron's family. I wanted to establish some of our own traditions this year, so we made a nice dinner on x-mas eve and we let the boys open one present (which I picked out), I bought them matching pj's to wear. Aaron and I stayed up late drinking wine and putting together Eli's gift. Christmas morning the boys actually slept in a little longer which was great, then we went down to open gifts. Eli had fun opening everyone's presents. Keenan did not really know what was going on, but was having fun watching Eli having fun. Eli's big gift from Santa was a train table. Eli is absolutely crazy about Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends so he was very excited about his gift. "Keenan-zilla" destroys whatever Eli builds, Eli gets frustrated, but is learning how to deal. After our gift opening, we went to 10AM mass, of course we can never get there on time, so it was more like 1030. Then we went over to Brian's for Christmas brunch. It was yummy food and great company. Eli and Keenan enjoyed all their new toys, and the adults also enjoyed their new toys(mine was an i-phone).
I hope everyone had a great holiday!
