Christmas is...

BUSY!!!! Can I use that as my reason for not blogging in so long???? ha! Meredith and I started a tradition of taking all four boys to see Santa and have their pictures taken when John McLean was born. It has been lots of fun and the Reilly boys have been VERY patient with the Wood boys! This year was not too bad! All boys jumped right up, although the Wood boys were slightly reluctant - as you can see on their faces!

This past weekend was full of excitement too! On Friday afternoon, we had our Christmas party at Ms. Wanna's house! We had soooooo much fun and all the children were SPOILED by Ms. Wanna - as usual! She is soooooooo good to all of us and we absolutely LOVE her! Thanks for EVERYTHING, Ms. Wanna!

 Baylor was ALL over the place! He LOVED all the excitement!

 John McLean loved every minute as well. He got a tractor set from his friend Cameron and he was THRILLED!

Bay would have been just as happy with bows and boxes! :)

John McLean had to check out Baylor's Mickey Mouse helicopter that Ms. Wanna gave him! They BOTH love it!

Later, we headed to Mimi and Papa's house for Mama's birthday dinner. Mimi and Papa made the most delicious chicken and spinach lasagna...no small chore with Mimi still on a walker from her knee surgery!!!! Thanks so much Mimi and Papa for all the hard work - it was sooooooo yummy!!!! The boys got my FAVORITE ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and were more than happy to help blow out the candles...not sure anyone wanted a piece after they were done!! :)

The Reilly-Wood's getting the candles on the cake with Mere-Mere!

John McLean blowing out the candles...can you see the drool coming off his bottom lip???? Who wants this piece???  Tee hee hee!!!! :)

Baylor just LOVES the lights on the house next door...he goes straight to them as soon as he gets to Mimi and Papa's house each time! They really are FANTASTIC!!!!!! I just LOVE this picture of him...

And finally...The Wood Family wishes you and yours a
