Merry Christmas!

We've had a very busy month of December! Both Jake and Ben had Christmas programs at their school (unfortunately I couldn't get good shots of either from my camera), we celebrated Ben's 4th birthday with cupcakes and Pinata at his school (the "real" party is in a few weeks), and Jimmy went hunting and shot his first deer! We did the usual Christmas preparations of getting a tree and decorating it and the house. "Blinky" joined our family this year...our new Elf on the Shelf. Mommy is very happy Blinky is now gone for another 12 months...he turned into a chore to move every night! We also drove around to see local Christmas lights and Jake sang in the children's choir for Christmas Eve mass yesterday. Jimmy made another great "Dinner of the Year" of prime rib and yorkshire pudding. The boys were SO excited about Santa arriving and were up before sunrise (5:41 a.m. but who is keeping track?) and were very spoiled by Santa.
We hope all of our family and friends have a Merry Christmas! Some pics and a few videos posted!
