Tommy and Heidi E: One magical Christmas!

The Egerer's left for a two week vacation to State College. It was full of cousins and family and fun. The kids got baptised, went caroling, skied, had Christmas parties, birthdays and much more. It was overwhelming, fun and exhausting all at once. We were so thankful to share such a wonderful holiday with friends and family alike. It started with the anual Heim caroling. The only cousings present were Paige, Mach and Tommy but they mananged to have a blast. Tommy loved it and sang loud and a lot!

Christmas eve with our little angel.

Pop got up to get groovy with T-pants on Christmas eve!

Little Ben chose Tommy for the Christmas exchange. Tommy received Thomas legos and was absolutely ecstatic!

The traditional Heim stairwell picture. As the families grow it becomes exceptionally difficult for all of us to fit in the picture. John and his family stayed the night at Gigi and Pop's house so we were able to enjoy the morning with them:)

Tommy recevied the ride on Thomas and if that is all he received he would have been plenty happy!

The mouse liked the bows and the paper!

All geared up for the sweet Southern rain, not the brisk wintery snow in the North!

It was a Thomas the train cornucopia!

Heidi turned one on the 28th of December. Hard to believe our baby is already a year old. She received a pink chair and woa she LOVES it!

Ah the mouse is one!

The cacophonous cheer at the end of her birthday melody scared the poor girl!

It didn't take her long to cheer up once she got into the chocolate cake!

These are a little out of order but Gigi and Pops had a little bit of a Christmas party and all of the grandkids, (Shepard Heim not included) did a surprise performance for Pops to the tune of "God Bless us everyone." It really was awesome...

Daddy and his beautiful mouse!

Tommy and Heidi were baptised into the Presbytarian Church on Sunday December 21st. All of the Heim and O'Neill families were present to watch our little angels.

Heidi and her Godfather Uncle Ben!

Tommy, Heidi and their respective Godparents:)

It was off to Tussey Mountain to teach Tommy how to ski. HE DID AWESOME and what's more is that HE LOVED IT! My knees ached a little from all of the pizza skiing with him in between my legs but it was worth it. I can't wait till we can go again!

Riding up the chair lift. Tommy kept requesting to go up on the "big hill!"

Uncle Scott stopped by the mountain to watch Tommy. He was spent after about 4 hours of pounding the bumps, or shall we refer to it as icy patches, lets remember we were in State College not Vail!
