Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! It was a great one in the Kelly house. We woke up to snow coming down (but not nearly as much as my friend Summer got in Minneapolis!). Jack watched the snow come down as he waited to open gifts. Jack opened his and Patrick's gifts. There are still a couple left to open another day because he really wanted to play with the gifts he opened instead of opening new ones. His favorite was his new train set.

My favorite gift was my cool, new camera! I don't know how to work all the bells and whistles yet, but I hope to learn soon. The rest of the pictures from today were taken with it.

Jack had fun with Uncle Paul.

Grandpa held Patrick.

We have been getting lots of smiles from this guy!

Jack was anxious to open the presents at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Uncle Paul and Aunt Margaret gave Jack these cool Cardinals alphabet blocks!

Margaret also got a cool camera for Christmas!

Jim and Paul entertained us with their guitars.

Jack ran around like the wild child he is!

He also settled in a chair with Grandma to play with his new Leapfrog text and learn toy.

Jack's cousins: Mimi, Bridget, and Katie.

After Grandma and Grandpa's, we went to my Aunt Sue and Uncle Matt's house. My mom showed off a wallet-sized picture of her with her idol, Bill McClellan. We also gave her a poster-sized picture of the two of them for Christmas.

Colleen and I posed with our Godson, Mark, who is a freshman at Georgetown! We are so proud of him!
