This was our third Christmas with just the little McNeil fam and our second Christmas with Callum, and we had a wonderful time, as usual.

Callum loved his new PJS, even though they were a little too big.  He ran to the mirror to check them out.

Then he ran back – very happy with what he saw.

The next day, we went down to see cousin Jamie (a.k.a. Uncle Otis) and Lindsay, who just got a new dog named Aspen.  Callum LOVED Aspen, and Aspen was a pretty big – make that a literally ENORMOUS – fan of Callum’s, as well.
