Adam & Jill: 12.31--Finnegan Christmas

Christmas was on halt until Adam and I arrived late Thursday night (30th). We got to our destination, where beds were already ready for us, and off to lala-by land we went! The warm sun peered through the window, as the other senses heightened. The li'l children had been up for a while and were giggling and laughing, they were having too much fun at such an early time! Sitting up on the end o' the bed, I took a deep breath. A fresh pot o' coffee must have been brewing because the rich coffee aroma filled the air. We didn't bother putting any fancy clothes on for the day, we were thinking o' the recommendation o' staying in our PJ's all day!!! YEAY! So Adam and I were able to get ready for the day (minus) the pjs. Then it was onto PRESENT opening time!!

Hannah got a guitar...

She sang and played it perfectly!

Eli's biker jacket...
From Uncle Adam/Aunty Jilly

Next we tried some Christmas Pictures.

Eli or Cody?

Getting ready for pictures...always chaotic!

Love this one o' all the cousins!

Eli whispered into Isaac's ear, "Hey kid, don't worry, I'll show you the ropes! You were born into the greatest family ever! Don't worry about all those girls (Grandmas, mothers, aunties, all girls)...they all just love taking pictures o' us. Why you may ask? Well, Isaac, women LOVE us! You'll get used to it...you are a Finnegan!
Read above for what Eli's whispering.

Wish I could get this in MY stocking.

Hanging with Uncle Adam...

Left over crackers Eli schmeered on Adam's arm.

The food was SOOO yummy!!

Awesome food...just as long as there's pickles.

We all just LOVE being together!!

King Eli's FIRST Birthday Party!

Because most o' us wouldn't be able to make Eli's birthday party, Cody and Erica decided that they would have just a wee-li'l party while we were all in town

Eli not sure about this cake stuff.

He knew what to do with it though...

Got the hang o' it real quick though.

...and he liked it!!

Hannah helped him out.

...but he made a mess all on his own.

Eli's new birthday presents...

Eli lovin' his new LEGOS!!

Hopefully Erica won't step on any o' these!!

Me and Isaac...sleeping...

Hannah painting with her new paints and books.

Just love the concentration on this...

Cannon with baby Isaac.

Look at that face...I want to eat it!

Eli and his Auntie Jillie...
"Putcha hands up!!"

I think Canon has found two special friends.

This picture is priceless...melts my heart!

Hannah and Uncle Jill!! (:

Hannah's photography skills...not bad!

Next we all gathered into the kitchen to sing...

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy BIRTHDAY dear PAAA!! Happy birthday to YOOOOOU! It was so much fun. He looks good for being 38 years old, huh?

Don't think he was expecting the song...

A Hannah Hug for the B-day Boy!

Hannah asked Pa how old he was.
"Too old to remember!"--Pa

Sleepy baby Eli...

WOAH...can you say easy on the ZOOM!

Isaac loved his new present from Gran and Pa.

We look good with a baby, huh?
Where is the baby anyway...

Awesome knife from Gran and Pa...guess who's it is?
