Here's a family picture in front of the Christmas tree we selected.

Early December was unseasonably warm this year.

Friends...

...more friends.

We took a trip to New York City to see a Christmas show. Here's Maureen and Shannon in front of the tree at Rockefeller Center.

Same picture with Steve and Shannon.

Here's a picture of the stage during the show.

Grandma gave her gifts a day early on Christmas eve day. The kids were happy about that!

Shannon was very happy to finally get a pair of Uggs.

...plenty of new toys for Sean as well.
