Christmas 2008 on Anna Maria Island!

Outside of church on Christmas Eve, Cullen's first Christmas Eve and he was GREAT at the service!

Grandma O'Brien with her "little whaler!"
Father and son enjoying some pool time. We were very lucky with the weather this year, 82 and sunny the whole week!
Christmas Eve dinner. Grandpa O'Brien had a great prime rib prepared and plenty of great sides and red wine!
Cullen's outfit for church! He enjoyed his first trip to Florida and his first Christmas. On another note, he was VERY GOOD on flights to and from Anna Maria; we're proud parents and were prepared for the worst!

Rob and Dan as requested by Mom and Dad after church. Dan is busy at work right now and also busy working on the Inauguration Committee for President Elect Obama and seeking a job within his administration. Good luck Uncle Dan!





Family swim time! Cullen loved the water and was an excellent swimmer; even at 15 weeks he knew to kick his feet and shares his mom's love of swimming!
Grandpa O'Brien decided to have some fun with Cullen.
Aunt Debby (aka Grandma Debby) and cousin Jessica with Cullen in Toledo. This was at the annual Christmas gathering for the Palmer family (Rob's mom's side of the family).

We feel blessed to have had such a wonderful first Christmas with Cullen and our entire family. From the time in Toledo, Florida, and spending New Year's with Jackie's parents here in Cincinnati, it's been a great 2 weeks. I think I'm ready for a nap!
