After our visit at the DiQuattro’s on Christmas Eve, we stopped by the Hutchinson’s so that we could give Carly and Eric their gifts. The Lionel train set we gave to Eric was a big hit, as you can see:

Bridget, Siobhán and I went over to Jim and Debbie DiQuattro’s home for Christmas eve. Here are some of the pictures that I took of the festivities:

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us.

As you can see in the post below, we put a lot of effort into this year’s card, even though the picture we ended up using was a pretty simple snapshot… at least compared to some of the other ideas we tried.

Here’s our completed Christmas Card for 2008:

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and have a great Holiday Season from The Kelleher Family!

Bridget and I spend a lot of time each year with our Christmas Cards. Many people will remember the 12 months of Halley and Ben pictures that we had last year on our card.

This year was no exception. First we tried to get a shot of Siobhán in a sleigh with Halley and Ben as “reindeer” pulling her along. It was a very cute idea, but as they say, never try to work with children or animals, and especially not both children AND animals! Here are some of the pictures we got:

Next we tried some of just Siobhán by the fireplace. The first idea was with her inside of a giant stocking that we had, but holding it up was a problem since Bridget and mom had to hold it (and her) up, and our little angel didn’t enjoy it as much, as you can see:

Next Daddy had the idea to put her in her bumpo sitter covered with some blankets, and surrounded by snowmen.  It turned out pretty cute:

But in the end, it was a quick shot that I took before we started with mommy hold her in her Christmas dress that we decided to use.

Here’s one of Bridget’s baby pictures. Doesn’t she look just like our little miss Siobhán? I certainly think so!

We are going to try and find a baby picture of daddy to scan in for comparison and we will then let people vote for who she looks like the most!

We went to the annual Kelleher Family Christmas Party hosted by Bridget’s Uncle Paul and Aunt Ann. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone and showing off how big Siobhán is getting. There was lots of great food and fun for all, and there was even a Tarot Card Reader which was fun.

Here are some of the pictures that I took:

Can you believe that our little angel is already two months old! She is up to 10 pounds even, 22 1/4 inches long and her head 15 1/4.

Here is a new candid pictures that I took:

We had our lovely daugther Siobhán Baptised at St. Agnes Parish in West Chester. Her Godparents are Jenn Karsch and Herb Hutchinson.

My dad was nice enough to take pictures of the service:

And here are some pictures back at our house afterwards:

Thanks to everyone that was there to celebrate with us!
