Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! This year we had a wonderful time filled with lots of family, friends, food and fun! We celebrated at our house since I am in self-imposed quarantine (we want this baby born in the United States!) so our families came here.

Ronan - bright and early on Christmas morning. He was bursting with excitement, but we had to wait for Nana and Bubba to arrive before any presents were opened. Auntie Delta was already here since she had spent the night with us.

After Nana and Bubba got to our house we had a big family breakfast (thanks to Collin for cooking) and then it was time for presents!

Of course both boys got right into the unwrapping part, and "helped" everyone open their gifts.

Collin and the new wine fridge that I got him (it has dual zones for red and white wines). I know the perfect place for it in our new house.

Lara and boyfriend, Danny, arrived later in the day and we opened presents with them too. Afterwards we had our big Christmas dinner - since I was in no position to cook a big turkey dinner, we had Freddy (Fred Meyer) do it for us.

In case your wondering - yes, I am as uncomfortable as I look in this picture. 37 weeks and counting! Approximately three weeks till Baby Bean's arrival!

Auntie Delta, Bubba and Nana. We were packed in tightly in our living room; thank goodness our next place is much bigger (three times the square footage as we have now!).

We had Christmas with the McLoughlins on Boxing Day. Papa, Auntie Teresa and Cousin Lauryn came down in the morning, and after another big family breakfast (thanks again to Collin), we opened our presents.

Latham's facial expression in this picture shows the boys' excitement perfectly.

Cousin Lauryn and her new puma shoes.

Ronan and Latham checking out Latham's new phonics toy.

Papa opening his specialty meats & cheeses gift package from Cabella's - buffalo salami, anyone?

Papa and his grandsons. I have no idea what Ronan is eating, but he looks hilarious, so I decided to include the picture in this post.

After present opening, we had another big turkey dinner (thanks again to Freddy), and had a good time visiting.

Collin, the boys and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas too!
