We celebrated Christmas at Pops and
MoMo's house on December 19
th. Uncle Kevin, Aunt Kelly, Jack and Henry flew in from St. Louis that day to celebrate in Chicago.
MoMo adopted a bear for Jack, Henry and Nolan from a literacy fundraiser downtown. The bears and a bag of reindeer food (from Aunt
Kathey) were waiting for the boys in the living room
.
There were so many presents...the boys must have been very good this year!
Nolan was excited and decided to sneak a peek.
He carried around his favorite book at Pops and
MoMo's house the entire night.
Pops checked out the book, too.
Nolan got a new sled but did not really want to take a ride. Henry wanted to try it out!
Nolan admired it from a distance.
Nolan liked his new shape sorter.
Pops and MoMo got a personalized Chicago print. They loved it!
Jack got a train table and set. Nolan liked standing in the middle of the track.
Aunt Kelly made this special stool for Nolan...so cute and thoughtful! We will put it to good use!
Nolan danced around.
Jack gave everyone lots of hugs!
Nolan brought his new toys to the middle of the track.
Henry sat on the turkey platter (an
O'Shea family tradition) since we missed him at Thanksgiving. Henry is built a little bit like Nolan! He has great rolls!
The boys had matching Santa
jammies and took a photo for Pops and
MoMo's Christmas card. This was one (of many) attempts!
Pops and his boys had fun with the train.
Nolan sat right on the track.
Nolan loves the Santa that climbs the ladder.
Jack and Henry checked out the neat Santa, too.
Everyone got ready for Pops to read a special Christmas story.
Twas the night before Christmas...what a captive audience!
He preferred to play with the wrapping paper!
There were lots of aunts, uncles and cousins at the party!
Nolan took a break to compose himself and recover from seeing Santa.
Then, Santa called his name again for another present. Poor Nolan! 
Maybe he'll like Santa next year!
