Christmas Scanlan style
















Christmas was as equally fun as it was exhausting! I think today (Jan. 1st) is when we are just starting to wind down finally! We feel so lucky, though, to have been able to spend it with family and friends and for so many people to remember our kids and give them such sweet gifts. I feel like we may have to move just to accomodate all the wonderful presents! I have learned the mommy trick, though, to hide some of the presents to be pulled out on a rainy day..





We started out Christmas with aunt Christie (Sean's sister) visiting. We all loved getting to spend time with her and the boys and Caroline loved all her attention. We did our small family christmas Christmas eve morning and the boys quickly learned that under the wrapping paper were fun toys! And mom and dad learned to make sure to have all the toys put together first before they open them... there were a few tears, but we quickly moved on to the next present.





After all the gifts, we headed to Oklahoma city to stay with Sean's grandma and see everyone. The boys and Caroline did great traveling again. Great in the car, great at all the festivities, etc.





They loved playing with their cousin Emma and meeting lots of new people. They also loved Sean's grandma's house because there was so much room to run!





I pray that her house is still the same after the Scanlan boys have come through!





We are very blessed to have so many people who care about our kids and such great families!
