Happy {belated} Birthday, GiGi . . . and a Very Mary{land} Christmas!

Happy, Happy Birthday to YOU, GiGi! We love you so, and we are grateful for you! :)
We had a great Christmas and New Years combo celebration in Maryland! The boys loved spending time playing and visiting with family, and we all enjoyed many a delicious meal!
Shortly after arriving to Nonna and Grandpa's house, the gift giving began. The boys LOVE their new Nonna-made coats! Too cute!

We really try to enjoy every aspect of the gift, wrapping and accessories included!
Hudson enjoying his new mittens!
The next day brought lots of fun as well!

My sweet Boys!
The babies were very excited to give Nonna a special book about babies and Nonnas!
Hudson masters hide-and-seek . . .
But Aunt Courtney wins the prize for furriest hiding place!
The most exciting gift of 2009? The singing Christmas cards from GiGi and Aunt Courtney!
Hudson is very intrigued by this singing lamb (we thought lambs said "ba!" who knew they could sing!?)
The boys had a lot of fun playing around Nonna and Grandpa's house and enjoying their Christmas decorations!

Jingle, jingle!
The babies LOVED the lights and ornaments! (And Aunt Courtney's Cat!)
The boys took a break from the fun to look out the window with Daddy at the birds and the birdfeeder . . .
Grandpa and William do some singing and dancing . . .

We love you, Nonna and Grandpa! Thank you for your generosity towards us and our boys!
(Will's face in this one makes me laugh! Hudson--still very serious!)

OH I love the Reppards!!! Happy birthday to GiGi! These are such great photos, Shan. My favorite is GiGi losing the boys off her lap... what a great Christmas and New Year's!

Love you all!

Aunt Katie, Uncle B, and Baby Charlie

Shannon, your blog (including all your great pictures) is such a clear testimony to your love for your boys. I am amazed at the ease with which you seem to handle TWO toddlers! You are an inspiration, girl.
