Christmas 2007 was an extra special Christmas as it was our first Christmas with Connor. We just got back from a trip to Chicago where we spent the holiday with family.
We started at Ben and Julia's (who got engaged at the beginning of December so a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to them) on Friday night where we played guitar hero & catch phrase, hung out with Connor and opened gifts. Thanks for all the great gifts guys, and again...you are already spoiling Mr. Connor! :)
Then we headed down (or I should say over) to Western Springs where we spent the remainder of our trip at Ryan and Jeni's. They just moved in to a beautiful new home and it was a wonderful place to spend the holiday...thanks for everything, guys! :)
We celebrated Christmas with the immediate Murphy family on Saturday night and had a great time. Then Christmas Eve entailed mass (with the Thunander family) and cheese fondue for dinner. Christmas was a busy day with gift opening in the AM, the Murphy clan (Nana, Aunt Linda, Uncle Jake, Lauren, Jacob, Aunt Carol and Aunt Barbara) all over to Ryan and Jeni's for dinner and we concluded the day with a trip to Meme's where Penny's entire family was gathered (remember, she is one of 10 so we were excited for everyone to finally meet Connor).
Thank you to everyone for your generosity this Christmas season. It was so great to see everyone and Connor loved meeting all of you and spending time with family.
Enjoy the pictures (and, this is just a sampling...all our pictures from our trip are in the Shutterfly album you can get to from our blog)!
