Christmas 09

James and his cousin Tristan,who are less than a week apart in age, got to spend some quality time hangin' out this weekend. Tristan and her family stayed with us and arrived Christmas Night.




James and Tristan both had a great first Christmas ...and now to the other things that have been happening!

James experienced his first blizzard this winter on December 19. In the above picture you can see he is enjoying the snow!

We began opening presents at our house on Christmas morning around 6:30am. James enjoyed eating the paper as do most 8 month olds! He received a set of plastic balls that enthralled him from Santa and tired him out so he took a nice morning nap. He also got his fourth baseball glove.




We then went to Grandpa Meagher's and saw Uncle John, Aunt Bean, Loch, Sean,Gpa and Aunt Feath.


Then we went to Aunt Inez's and saw Grampa and Grandma Beyrer, Uncle Tom, Aunt Inez, Great Aunt Ann, Cousin Jen, and cousins Brendan, Sean, and Aidan.






Then later that night we went home and welcomed the Virginia Meaghers to our house and the next day Christmas happened again! It was a long weekend that inlcuded a trip to the Lynch's for another Meagher family gathering and Aunt Cass's first attempt at playing pictionary.( it was a valient attempt). We are hoping to get James back on his schedule and that he will return to sleeping through the night which he hasn't done all week.
Happy New Year to all!

The First Thanksgiving

I know that the actual first thanksgiving didn't happen this year, but it was Jamie's first. I cannot figure out how to move these pics in the order that I want them so in no particular order: James nuzzling Chef Nelson after dinner at John and Beth's house. James and Grandpa hanging out pre-dinner

James attempting to lift the turket leg- he couldn't quite get it to his mouth to even lick it...!

Daddy and James- Joe tried to match the baby- James is sporting his first sports coat!




And Mommy and James!
