Jingle Bells

No event can go without Aunt Meg putting together a little performance.... Seamus chose this year's tune-- "Jingle Bells," accompanied by an array of musical instruments...

Matching PJs

Every year Nana gets the kiddos matching pajamas for Christmas.
Totally adorable!

Murray Christmas

Before the Giles head to Pittsburgh to celebrate the holidays, we got together to celebrate Murray Family Christmas! Seven adults, seven kiddos, presents galore and a delicious meal.

Clapping Fool

Christmas Ladies

All the little ladies in our family were born around the same time of year, so the hand-me-down wardrobe is a pretty wonderful collection. This adorable holiday dress was originally worn by Eleanor for her first Christmas in 2004 and then Saoirse took her turn in 2009...

And now it's Olivia's turn for her first Christmas!

Liv's Lovie

Olivia has an addiction...to her Lovie, a little pink lamb snuggle blanket. When we're rocking in the chair before bedtime, she grips it tightly. When she falls and bumps her head, Lovie helps stop the tears. In her carseat, she loves to suck on the tag and ears of Lovie. In her crib, she crawls around scooping up her Lovies to cuddle as she falls asleep.


This by far was one of the best gifts we got when Olivia was born (thanks Jen!). It's called "A Pair and A Spare" made by Angel Dear. There are three identical lovies, so in case one gets lost or needs to be washed, you never have to be without one! Genuis.

New Best Friend!

Welcome to the world Ava Grace Pero. Olivia is thrilled that her new best friend has finally arrived. Your hair is totally amazing! Congrats to Arthur and Lauren. We love you guys!
