Hi, I'm Timothy Conroy!

Everyone, please try to stay calm. Just follow these public service announcements and everything should be fine. Right?

This year we take a trip to the mall in the 1980s.

As the boys grow older it’s getting more difficult to get them to participate in the cards. I had the idea to just observe them in their natural habitat, in front of a glowing screen. Oh and we got a dog.

This is Christmas is based on the 1984 mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap. Of course we had to do it because, wait for it . . . the twins "Go to 11" in 2018. Oh and it's our 11th card, how convenient.

Ok, so this one needs a little bit of a back story. My favorite movie is JAWS. The names of our three boys were inspired by the lead characters in the movie, Quint, Brody, and Hooper. Our boys names are Quinn, Brody and Cooper

I think I was more excited about the StarWars reboot than the boys were.

The competition is tough in a household of three boys. Here is a little taste.

Let’s just say that the twins are not so innocent.

Longing for a “Silent Night” at times.

The “Beach Boys” make a Christmas reunion album.

It’s maddening at times.

Be sure to be there for the Christmas gift opening battle.

As their personalities start to come out, we get a sense of the buttons they like to push.

Three is enough for me. The only other square I’d like to fill is the center square, but that’s not happening.
