We had a whirlwind Christmas in Medford with the boys. We started things off on Christmas Eve by opening a few presents, including Devin's first train set (his cousin Eamon's idea). After the boys went to sleep, the adults feasted on a little "surf-n-turf", Lobster & steak, before assembling all the presents to be ready to go in the morning. On the big day, we held the boys upstairs until Grandpa, Jojo, & Eddie came back, then unleashed them on the bounty under the tree. Eamon loved his parking garage and grocery store. Quinn, whose already kicking balls across the room, went straight to his basketball hoop, and Devin's toys were small enough to transport back home. The highlight for all 3 was the tent filled with balls. They all ran straight into it and played there all morning until it was time for Eamon & Quinn to go see their other cousins in Albany.

After some afternoon naps, we went to the Mulligan party and gift swap. A roaring party as always, our contribution was a coffee mug with a picture of Uncle Jimmy saying "Good Morning Gorgeous", and we ended up with a great bottle of French wine. A good trade! We got back to Medford quite late, and slept in the next day to prepare for the upcoming adventures of our trip to Boston.
