Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas from The Taylors!



Our Christmas 2010 began with another haircut for Aidan at Doodle Doos with Lisa. (Haircuts: 3/Teeth: 3 by the way!) We are calling this one his Christmas/Big Brother haircut since T2 is expected in a little over a month! Which is so exciting but also a bit hard to believe.

On Christmas Eve we started the day Skyping and opening presents with my parents. It wasn't the same as being there in person, but it was great to open gifts with each other.

After Christmas Eve Mass at St. Agnes we had a delicious dinner at Dario's in Rockville Centre. Here is Aidan with his Aunt Beth.

Christmas morning Bob treated us to his famous pancakes! Aidan LOVED them! I think he had about 3 of his own and 2 of his cousin Ryan's.

Aidan got his Boppy a new pancake pen and it was a hit!

After breakfast it was present-mania! Aidan ended up needing a nap and missing most of it, but the rest of us must have been very good this year because the gifts never seemed to stop!

Chris and Alex had 19 of us over Christmas night and it was so much fun and the food was delicious. In this picture we have Bob on the keyboard with Aidan treating us to a little Christmas dance.

Sadie looked absolutely adorable on her First Christmas. You have to give her a lot of credit for trying to keep up fashion-wise with her Mom!

It was a great weekend and truly a Merry Christmas!

Catch-Up!


We have been busy! First we headed to Chicago and had an amazing (and tasty!) Thanksgiving. My Mom cooked up quite a fest and we were all sufficiently stuffed! Unfortunately Aidan caught a cold while we were there and then passed it along to most of the rest of us just in time for our arrival to Orlando.
Here is a little photo round up of our two week trip:

A big first for Aidan on this trip to Chicago was his first trip to Snackville Junction! This is one of my Dad's favorite spots on the Southside and the two of them had a great time. I was so thankful to my cousin Megan who invited us to go along with her and her girls.

All the food is delivered via train that is on a track all along the counter. Aidan LOVED it!

Clare, Aunt Maun, Megan, Nora, Uncle Bob and Aidan after a tasty meal at Snackville Junction!

Speaking of tasty meals...my Mom out-did herself this year! Our Thanksgiving meal was so delicious and so fun. Aidan liked the turkey and was a good sport despite having a cold.

Me and Grandma!

One of my favorite pictures of the trip of my three favorite guys!

We were lucky to have great weather in Florida which allowed the boys to test out the water rides. Poor Mark tended to get the most soaked!

Aidan quickly got into the Disney spirit.

My Aunt Maureen was happy to have a Mickey Bar Wingman this year.


I was pleasantly surprised by how many rides were Aidan and pregnancy friendly.

A huge thank you to my Mom for sharing her Birthday gift with all of us and to my Dad for providing it all!
