Christmas 2008

Happy New Year to all our Friends and Family! We had a nice Christmas this year. We spent Christmas Eve at home together and drove to my parent's house on Christmas Day. Ellis understood the concept of Christmas and Santa which was a lot of fun and we had our Leighton to add to the family this year. It was one of our more quiet Christmases, however, with the sadness of Stella leading up to the holiday and the girls and I had been sick right before as well. It's never quite the same without our Irish family either. We missed our family in Ireland a ton and wish we could have seen them over the holidays. This is the time of year when the distance is really frustrating. We are planning a trip to see them in March or April.

his cookies and the carrots for the reindeer."
