There is nothing like Christmas at the Halpin House! It is warm and cheerful, busy and loud, full of kids of all ages. There is tons of food and gifts and chaos. We all love it!
Ally and O got quite a rhythm going on their "drum sets."
Beth Ann was so sweet to snuggle with baby Jones for most of the day, freeing me to help in the kitchen and with the bigger boys. I think both Beth Ann and Jonesy were pretty happy with the arrangement! Here Jonah is checking out his new shoes from Gigi and Papa. They are darling!!
Mia and Nosy enjoyed a ton of dessert. That is one wonderful thing about Noah's new insulin pump. It frees us up a little bit with his carb intake and eating schedule. He was able to eat pretty much whatever he wanted on Christmas day...and we let him! The precious Boy couldn't believe it when we kept saying, "Yes, you may have another cookie...just like the other kids." It makes me happy and sad at the same time for my sweet kiddo who has gone through so much. 
The kids' tables. (Notice Nosy is having even more dessert!)
O sharing his new Leapster Explorer.
Yes, Elliot, chocolate pie is like a little slice of heaven on earth.
Jonah getting some Gigi cuddles.
