The Leary's: January 2013

Special "O" Delivery...

My Uncle O sent special packages to our girls for Christmas. Of course, he was visiting back home and we didn't make it so we also missed out on seeing him. Bummer. Hopefully one of these years when Charlie is a bit bigger we can go visit him in the Big Apple!!

Anywho...I don't think words are necessary here...

An O hand-crafted cross necklace for each beauty...

Sophie and Charlie LOVE special packages. They were SO HAPPY and loved all the gifts!!

Thanks O!!! We love you!!

Merry Christmas!!!...

Girls woke up to eaten cookies and no chocolate milk. Yes...Sophie says Santa prefers chocolate milk rather than regular. She was TOTALLY right...go figure! He also left his magic dust all over the table where he touched our plate and cup. Awesome.

Sophie knows all too well how the gift opening works so Charlie caught on quickly. So fun!! Sophie received her [highly anticipated] Lego Friends Summer Riding Camp set and Charlie got [what sister said she wanted] her Lego Duplo Big Zoo set. Thanks Santa!! Among other items they also received a super sweet easel table and really cute stick horses. What a year to remember!!

We decided we'd done enough traveling in the past few months so staying home was a no brainer. And although we missed our families back home dearly, it was nice to relax for a year. Ended up a couple neighbors had the same idea so we got together that evening for eats and drinks. Kids had a blast playing together too.

Merry Christmas!!! Hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Love.

P.S. - Pixie, our cute little Elf, said her goodbyes Christmas Eve night. She left a sweet note telling the girls they had been so good this year and ensured them Santa would be visiting. She also made note that she wouldn't be needing her magic, just this one night, [since Santa would be picking her up on his sleigh] so they could say goodbye by kissing her cheek and giving her a hug.
