I love Christmas for so many reasons! It is truly a celebration in my family...I look forward to Christmas morning every year. We read the story of Jesus' birth and I love that a different person reads it each year. We almost went digital this year, reading it off Brian's Iphone...but Dad pulled through and got out the Bible. Now that I have a son and know what birth is like, I cannot even imagine what Mary went through in that stable. This Christmas was extra special because we got to celebrate it with our son...he slept through reading the Bible and slept through presents, but holding him during those moments was like no other gift I have ever received. He is our little miracle and we are so thankful for him. This year was also special because I had the opportunity to introduce Teddy to my sister and her family and Ted's brother and his family. We also got to meet our new little nephew AJ, born almost 3 weeks before Teddy. It was a joyous time spent with the ones we love, catching up, resting, being snowed in and playing outside in the snow.

A few days after Christmas we headed to Long Island to see Nana and the rest of our family. We learned alot this trip about how to travel with a newborn...take the ferry no matter how much it costs!! The 5 hour drive took us 8 1/2 hours and we arrived with a very hungry and cranky Teddy. We are quick learners though, took the ferry home, and made it home in record time. This trip was special at it was our first chance to meet our new nephew AJ and to introduce Teddy to Uncle Tony, Aunt Kathleen, Megan and AJ!!
It took us a few shots to get a good one of the boys together...
I am sure this was only the first of many photos shoots!!
