Christmas Wishes Come True

Christmas was very exciting at the McLaughlin home this year. On Christmas Eve, Aunt Beth and her boyfriend Mike came to be with us and stayed over night. Below is Aunt Beth with the boys... we walked down to the end of our lane and gave the ponies (Nip and Tuck) a Christmas apple treat. Patrick loves to visit our "neighbors".

As for Christmas morning.... well the McLaughlin boys were all very good this year and Santa recognized them accordingly. Connor got the very much desired PSP which Mom and Dad were just sure that Santa could not supply as we did not think that he had technology capability. How wrong we were! Proving this theory wrong again, Santa brought Liam the red iPod Nano! The boys both proclaimed that this was the best Christmas ever! Patrick was very happy with his toys as well. He loves his Little People Bus and Thomas light toy. After opening presents, Grandma & Grandpa McLaughlin came and....... brought us all even MORE presents!

As part of our winter break, we took the boys to the Franklin Institue in Philadelphia. Liam got picked to be volunteer... here's a little video of him:
