Santa came to our house!!!!

Parker and Celia had a wonderful Christmas. Their Nana came from Syracuse and both of them loved the extra time with her. Parker seemed to really understand the ritual of welcoming Santa with cookies and a note (his note said, "Santa, I love you. I would like a firetruck.") and went to bed easily knowing that Santa would bring him gifts during the night. Must be Parker was a good boy this year, Santa was so good to him.  He had a great time Christmas morning. Here's some photos from the day!

Parker has been saying since Christmas that his favorite gift from Santa was a firetruck. However, some other contenders were the Toy Story movie (Wooo-dee and Buzz), Mr. Potato Head (Tayto Head) and a train table (pway twains?). His Nana also got him a kitchen which was all set up Christmas morning as well. He has already started making some amazing culinary creations such as: corn, popcorn (Pah-cone), pasta, hot dogs, grilled cheese, olives (ahh-wivvvs) and birthday cake (bur-day cake). He loves to cook just like his Daddy!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wish everyone a prosperous and peaceful New Year!

Parker's Birthday and Christmastime

We were so happy to celebrate Parker's 2nd birthday this past weekend. It was a construction themed at the local YMCA party and I think it's fair to say everyone had a ball! I can hardly believe my little man is two. It's been the best two years ever-- Parker and now his sister have brought us so much joy and we are truly, truly blessed.

(Psst....Mommy is particularly proud of the cake she made for the occasion. It looked great and thankfully tasted great too!)


I will post some more Christmas pictures soon from our breakfast with Santa, but if I don't get a chance to before the holiday, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Love, The Whole Gallagher family
