The BEST presents come in small packages!

Just when you thought Christmas couldn't possibly get any better someone special (Not Bob and I)
makes an announcement!


Grammy and Papa got a huge group of visitors at around 3 p.m. today and after a Christmas Carol they received this tiny little present!

It took a minute!

Meghan and Tim are having a baby! And not just any baby - another AUGUST baby!
There were not enough hugs for all the joy everyone was feeling!
The twins sharing a moment - I love this one because I think my mom was as happy for Auntie Kate to become a grandmother as she was about Meg becoming a MOM!
WOW - that sounds weird!
Life is SO good!

Uncle B was said to have had something suspiciously fly into his eye as the news was announced up at Auntie Kate's today - the tears were a result of that and nothing else!

Auntie Kate asks the kids what they think!

Mom could care less - she needs more hugs to celebrate. I love Tim's smile!
Merry Christmas to all of us! I for one can not take my eyes off of that tiny little onesies - it hasn't been that long but it is hard to believe they actually fit into those!


All babies are a miracle and all I think about is these pictures and how this little one will know how loved it was before it was even an inch long!

Pete's response - "Can it, please, be a BOY!"
Auntie Meg and Uncle Tim promised to do their best!

What a lucky baby this will be with all of these cousins to love and adore it!
Celebrating the news of Auntie Meg's baby!
A Kelly Family picture to commemorate the day we all found out the big news!

Our little noodle is in there and the only problem now is that August feels very, very, very far away! We are so grateful to be able to share this day and the days to come with Meg and Tim!
I naturally have 200 pictures of Christmas - we had a wonderful day with family and the kids were amazing. My Mom outdid herself with two fabulous meals!!!! I will get more pictures up in a day or two but I wanted today to be about the greatest miracle of all - babies and family - the more the merrier!
Congratulations to Meg and Tim - we love you and our little noodle!
GNM - ILY!

Molly's Dance Party

Molly looks forward to the Christmas party at Griffith Academy every year - Santa comes and they get to dance for the parents so I love it, too. Auntie Beth is finally home and the kids could not be more excited - the snow kept us from seeing her yesterday but we got our fill today as we celebrated Uncle Colin's big two four!Molly and Abby had a blast at their Christmas parties and Papa was there to see it all.Stretches before class.I love the look on Molly's face when she dances - bliss!Annie loved the dancing and the cookies.Poor Lizzie can not get over this cold.Molly and Molly are always partners and they have so much fun together!Molly girl and Santa - how beautiful is my girl?Molly and Molly Garrahey showing off the toys that Santa brought for them.Norah, Molly and MollyAnnie in her Santa dress!Annie was so excited to go sit with the big girls during the break between classes.My girls loving each other!

My boy is amazing - he was all snuggled up on the couch watching Christmas movies in front of the fire when Bob went out to shovel the driveway - he immediately ran and got his snow stuff and yelled out to Bob that we would be out in a minute to help him with the walk. He did the whole walk and sidewalk and the stairs and path to the road. He was so proud of himself when Bob came in and thanked him for helping so much - what a wonderful little boy! I have lots of pictures from Uncle Colin's birthday party tonight but I'll post those tomorrow! GNM - ILY!
