Christmas with Extended Family

I really should have started by saying that this season was the busiest ever! Not sure if it was Leighton or what exactly but I just felt like I was treading water barely keeping my head above level all season. There was never a time to rest or really even relax and enjoy. I really wish we could have just enjoyed things but I think we learned alot. I wanted to do so many things and start new family traditions, and we did get to do all the things we wanted, some were maybe a modified version, I will explain more later! Even though we did all those things we didn't quite get to enjoy them all as much as we should have. I guess all the firsts were just a few to many :)

We had all the family from my mom's side over for christmas a week early it was so nice to have everyone together. We ate and laughed and scratched the famous lotto tickets from my grandparents via my aunt Wallie. 17 of us total from 4 different generations.

Mommy helping Leighton open his advance new Elmo cell phone, It even know his name after we activated it. It really is super smart and complex it says a million different things and always calls him by his name, so special! He loves it!
