Right after the Christmas holiday, we took Siobhan and Finn over to the Brandywine River Museum. It was a cold and snowy day, but we all had fun. For Christmas, they had a large Lionel train display up, along with a very tall Christmas tree with neat handmade decorations on it.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from our two little Leprechauns Siobhan and Finn!

West Chester got not one but two snowstorms over the last day. The first one started Wednesday morning, and started earlier in the morning dumping more snow than anyone had expected. We got about 4 inches of snow before it turned over into sleet and freezing rain for a bit.
Then after the sun set the second storm moved in, at a rate of about 2 inches an hour. We even got some “thunder snow”. My wife said that this was made up when we heard them report this on the news, but then they showed some video footage of the snow with the sounds of thunder clearly in the background.
When it was all over, Chester County was the hardest hit area with the most snowfall. The news said that we were in the “bull’s eye” for this storm! I would say we got at least 16 inches, but probably closer to 2 feet.
Siobhan loved the snow of course, we let her out to play on the deck last night while the snow was still coming down. She had a blast as you can see.

We enjoyed spending Christmas Day at home watching the kids open up their presents this year. Siobhan was really very excited about opening all of her presents! Fionn didn’t really get the concept as well, but did enjoy his new Rody bouncy horse very much!
Unfortunately both of them were a little sick and had runny noses, as you’ll see in the pictures.

We joined Madeline, Jenn & Steve for a ride on the West Chester Rail Road‘s Christmas Train.
Here are some pictures from our adventures:

Siobhan and Fionn enjoyed spending some time with their cousins Cole, Annaliese and John Thomas. We were able to visit with them and have Christmas dinner with my brother Brian, his wife Kate at my Mom and Don’s house.
Here are some pictures of the kids having a fun time playing and opening presents!

While I was able to get some nice pictures of both Siobhan and Fionn by the Christmas tree alone, when we tried to get pictures of both of them we didn’t have much luck. Fionn was crying because he was in a bad mood, and Siobhan wouldn’t stay with him unless we were all singing together (it was “La-La-Lullaby” by the Pajanimals).
