Happy Birthday and Christmas 2010

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dad. He's turning the very young age of 57. :)
Aidan will be gracing him with a rousing, out-of-tune rendition of "Happy Birthday" later today.

Our Finn Christmas was very enjoyable. Aubrey's first foray into present opening went well and she stayed up a good two hours past her bedtime without any melt-downs. The magic of new toys to play with. Aidan was so excited to play with his presents this morning that he didn't even eat breakfast. Seriously, you know when Aidan doesn't want to eat he is REALLY into whatever he is doing. I think playing with toys instead of eating breakfast may be unprecedented. Favorites are the wooden construction trucks from Uncle BJ, the toy electric guitar, and the remote control police car, both from Grandpa Finn.

Grandpa Finn made a wonderfully delicious meal; Rock Cornish game hen, wild rice, and sauteed vegetables. Very tasty. I tried so hard to get a good picture of Aidan and Aubrey together, but after 139 photos snapped, not one of them is "Christmas Card" worthy. They are like oil and water when taking pictures together. Maybe someday they will both smile and look at the camera at the same time.
