Our First Christmas

Chrsitmas Eve at the Senior Briches
Our only family Christmas photo! This was taken after a long day at Dave and Busters with Sean, Brian and Regan:)


Christmas day at the Rooney's house. Both sets of grandparents had to see them in their matching holiday outfits :)

Jamie came all the way from Olympia for a visit!
John was mesmerized by Jamie's beauty, and her long hair:)


John and Anna got dressed up in their cool outfits for Jamie and Julie's visit. John wore a Run DMC shirt and Anna wore a Beatles, Yellow Submarine shirt with jeans. Very retro!!

You may recall the "joy" the twins had on Thanksgiving... well, they shared this same "joy" for their first Christmas. As a matter of fact, they were so joyous that we didn't open a single gift on actual Christmas, we had Christmas take 2 the following day. Maybe it was their matching outfits that made hem crabby, who knows? We spent Christmas Eve in Cleveland with the Brich side of the family and Anna and John were very well behaved for the family photo shoot and for dinner. Maybe they saved up their crankiness for the Rooney side of the family the next day. The babies made up for it by sleeping through the night a few times and by all their smiles and giggles in the following days. We were excited to spend 3 whole weeks in Pittsburgh and the babies, once again, did a lot of growing in that time. They went up another clothing size (3-6 months), diaper size, and put on a few pounds. It must have been all of those Christmas cookies. Miss Anna also sprouted a lot of hair, and her brother is jealous! So although Christmas wasn't the perfect holiday I thought it would be, it all worked out just fine:)  It was spent with family and friends, what could be better?
