Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas!! Patrick and I had both scheduled vacation during the week of Christmas, unfortunately Patrick's promotion required that he work most of the week so we squeezed the festivaties into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! We joined Patrick's family for Christmas Eve mass at Jesuit in Dallas, and I think we were in and out of mass in 45 minutes- we need mass like that more often, especially with two young kids!! After mass we enjoyed dinner and exchanged presents at Grandma and Grandpa's. The only negative of the holiday was that it took us 3 hours to get home from Dallas with all the icey roads- but we got home safely and "Santa" and "Mrs. Claus" went to work building the playhouse. Santa also brought chairs, strider bikes, babies, elmos, and lots more fun!! Christmas Day we celebrated with my family and continued the McMahon tradition of staying in our PJ's all day long!! We had a wonderful Christmas Day dinner, complete with a Happy Birthday Baby Jesus cake. It was a wonderful Christmas and we are ready for it to warm up so the kids can ride their new bikes outside!!
