Merry Christmas!!!!!

Elijah's first Christmas went off without any problems! Not that we were expecting any, but you never know! Saturday morning (December 22) we drove down to Burlington, NC to spend Christmas at my brother and sister-in-law's house. My sister and her family came in from Tennessee and my parents came as well. We had the first "LeMieux family Christmas" in four years. It was AWESOME!!! Yes, it was loud, but that was the best part!! But what can you expect with 8 adults and 5 kids in one house for 4 days!

On Saturday, we drove to a city park where they had a merry-go-round and a train running with Christmas lights and we saw Santa and Mrs. Claus. Afterwards we saw a live Nativity and got to feed camels and sheep. On Sunday we got family portraits taken and took the kids bowling. That was great! Especially since we got to have the bowling bumpers up!! So I did pretty good! We had a great time on Christmas Eve too. Just hanging out and going to the park with the kids.

I forewarned everyone that if Elijah got up early on Tuesday, I was waking up all the kids. Well, he woke up at 7. And if you can believe it, none of the kids had gotten up yet!!!!! I woke up Adam at 7 and then all the kids went downstairs. It was mass chaos!! But I loved every minute of it! Santa was very good to Elijah, as well as to Chris and I. Hopefully we'll still be on the East Coast next year, but we're not sure. Either way, Elijah will be 16 months old, so he'll be a little more active, but still probably won't care much! We had a great Christmas and we hope that everyone had a great one too!!!
