Christmas Eve at Carmen & Al's

Chris & Emma were glad to be part of this round of Christmas celebrating, but Aidan's stomach bug kept him home unfortunately, so he & I had a quiet evening here instead (thankfully no pics of him earlier on the 24th - yikes - love those middle-of-the-night clean-ups.  Ah, parenting...)  But Emma got to go enjoy her grandparents & cousins  - not many pics though (I wasn't there, after all ;).

I'm guessing some folks who don't read paragraphs above will think this is Aidan at first glance! It's his cousin Joseph just 8 months older.... and you can sure tell their Daddies are brothers!
