Happy New Year!

Brendan & I didn't quite make it till midnight but we sure had fun in our own way ringing in the new year!! I got my groove on and Brendan just cracks up at me...I know it isn't cuz of my stellar dance moves. ;)

Christmas Day

The fun just doesn't stop and neither does all of the gifts! I thought it was Jesus' birthday but WE are getting all of the presents! We ventured out to Uncle Matt & Aunt Cherise's house today and celebrated with cousin Chase & Mimi too!! Then we headed over to BG & Pa Pa's house to celebrate with them too!! Santa was VERY good to us this year. ;)

Christmas morning...daddy was super excited about Brendan's new train. Thanks Auntie Roro!

Christmas Eve

"Chef Shae" and Jesus' birthday cake

Brendan watched from the sidelines while big sister opened gifts

Even though mommy had to work tonight we still got to celebrate with Uncle "Kiki", Aunt Kellyann and Colin for Jesus' birthday. We even had CAKE...my favorite part of any birthday celebration. ;)

Back in time

The newest Catholic...Brendan Robert


We celebrated Brendan's baptism today at St. Daniel's Church. There were 2 new Catholics to welcome today at our service. Brendan slept thru the whole service pretty much...he didn't even wake up when he was annointed with the water! I think he is happy to be a Catholic just like me. :)
