Easter 2015

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter morning...the boys found (almost) all of the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid for them and their baskets too!  Here's a few pictures of our boo's on bunny day:)



BBall 15

Declan played two sessions of Tab Basketball this winter and ended the season with a win (yes, just one win, but it was an incredible win!)!  He had a lot of fun and worked so hard.  Most games he had a basket or 2 and worked hard for a rebound or a steal.  We're super proud of this guy (and his little brothers for going to the games and not completely going crazy!)!

 

 

 

 Love the little brothers helping pass out snack!

Dad's Night

Earlier this month Conall and BC celebrated Dad's Night at Conall's school!  The night had a race car theme with stoplight cookies:)  I love this night, Conall had been looking forward to it for so long and he had missed 2 days of school this week, but toughed it out for the evening.  He was not going to miss it!   

Ski Trip 15

We took the two oldest down to Perfect North for a little skiing (and even some tubing after!).  The boys did amazing!  It took a couple of runs holding on to dad's poles, but once they felt comfortable they were off on their own!  We loved watching them have so much fun, even when they wiped out:)  A guy told me he heard Conall giggling the whole way down on one run!  Before calling it a day, we headed over to go snow tubing...so much fun!  It was dark and fast and the boys screamed and laughed so loud!  I'm looking forward to many, many more family ski trips.

Christmas 2014 & NYE

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What a wonderful season we had.  We were able to celebrate Christmas with both the O'Rourke's and Butler's and had an awesome time with our families. 

This year Declan sang in Christmas Eve mass (we didn't really get to see much of as him as we were way back in the cry room) and Gram and Grandad joined us after for a delicious dinner, with brownies of course!  The boys put out cookies and reindeer food and we're tucked in bed ready to fall asleep, they were so excited that Santa was coming!  Declan woke up first and after we rounded everyone up, we headed downstairs to find that Santa had come!  They had such a great time opening gifts and being excited for one another.  It was so special to watch, we are so lucky.  Here's a few pictures of Christmas morning followed by some of our crazy New Years Eve (popcorn, brownies and a movie)!



December Happenings

It has been a busy couple of weeks leading up to Christmas!

Declan had his Christmas program at school...he did so well along with all of the other kids:)  

We headed to the Children's Museum to have a visit with Santa...Look!  No one is crying!  Galvan loved seeing Santa this year, even told him what he wanted...trucks and blocks!  The boys had a ton of fun playing in Jolly Days and we of course did the Yule Slide a couple of times:)

According to G, reindeer are called reindudes!



Declan and his Louisville team have had a rough go this season, but they are not discouraged and we're all hoping for a win soon!

We went downtown to the Circle of Lights to mail our letters to Santa and pick out some chocolate, this is something we do every year, it's one of my favorite things:)
