MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE DOWNINGS! We celebrated Elizabeth's first Christmas in Wisconsin with the whole Wawiorka clan - all 23 of us were together and there was good news in abundance! AnnCatherine's cousin Adrien proposed to his girlfriend, Toni, on Dec 20th and cousin Carmaine announced her engagement to Troy during the sign of peace at mass on Christmas Eve! What blessings - a new baby and two new engagements in the same year. The family comes from literally coast-to-coast (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Minnesota, Indiana, California and Wisconsin) which makes these few days a year so precious. As always, we have an overabundance of good food (which has made losing baby weight a bit of an impossibility!) and plenty of laughs. Elizabeth also had the chance to meet Santa Claus for the first time - and they got along very well! I have a feeling he will make many return visits...
