Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Ho Ho Ho y'all,

I took a wee break from the blog through the holidays, mostly because we were so busy and having a great time with Opa and our friends.

It sure has been nice to have John stay with us for Christmas and not just for all the great handy work he does around the house! The kids just loved playing with him and we really enjoyed catching up and making new memories. My fondest would be of John playing goalie on the ice while Aidan took shots.

Although we had a great time with John we really missed Mary too and it must have been tough on the two of them being separated for the first time in 35 years during the holidays. We love you both and wish you have a great time this New Years Eve!

Another great surprise was the engagement of Matthew and Tina! Were super excited for both of them, although for some reason Riley said her name is Tina not "Aunt" Tina...I'm sure he'll get over it.

Jess and I are enjoying the time at home with family and friends and just hanging out. Although we miss all the family it sure is nice not to have to fly anywhere with the boys.

Our typical day has been filled with playing Star Wars Legos, Star Wars Wii, Nerf battles, board games, Elefun, skating, sliding and swimming and in the evening we've managed to have a few drinks of wine ;)
