One morning before we left on our trip, I woke up and found the boys like this....cuddled up on the floor, sharing a blanket and a book. :-) LOVE their love of books.
The boys school has a yearly Breakfast with Santa. Fun chance to see lots of friends, visit with Santa, and get a little bit dressed up.
This year the annual Farrell Christmas was in Galveston, TX. There were 21 of us this year (Lindsey brought Daniel - a wonderful young man we are all hoping to see again). The 7 bedroom house had a heated pool, 10 person hot tub, ocean access through a canal, and lots and lots of deck space. We had a 6 person golf cart to get us to and from the local convenience store and beach. Great time had by all.
Amy received a "selfie stick" for her iPhone. There were lots and lots of great selfies taken. :-) Beckett is wearing SpyGear night vision goggles...and a singing Christmas tie. :-)
I love Grant's face in this one. :-)
David and Peter received superhero pajamas.

Beckett caught a flounder in our little ocean canal!
David's wonderful attire for our beach football game. In case you can't tell, those are penny loafers on his feet, Superman boxers, MD Home tee, and Santa hat to round it all off. :-)
Beckett and Ryan ready for flag football
The Farrell 5 - David, Connie, Amy, Barbara, Pete
Grant - the man with the plan
"This is a football. We need to run it to the other end of the field. That is all."
2 of Cap's favorite things - University of Texas and beer.
Grant and Connie playing SpotIt
Riley completely worn out from 3-4 walks a day and 3-4 games of fetch. I don't think she has really moved since we got home.

Pete gave Grant a penny collection and lots of books to put them in. He LOVES it.
Howdy!
Aww...it's black dog. Even black dog got into the holiday spirit! :-)
David made up an amazing game based on Farrell stories and trivia. Here is Grant telling his story in front of everyone.
We are READY TO ROCK!!! Flag football...here we come!
Ryan and Conor bought these hats for the boys....
and as you can see....the boys now all matched. :-) LOVE this picture.
Meg talking trash and Macie getting pumped up!

Another pic of the crew - I am in this one. Although I didn't play (hurt foot)...I was the official photographer. :-)
Beckett and Ryan...ready
