Last night was such a beautiful night- warm, no bugs, slight breeze, fire going- we ate dinner out on the deck. And for dessert- of course- SMORES!!!

Merry Christmas!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas filled with joy and God's love. Our home is "buzzing" with excitement of the celebration. Ladi Elizabeth's first Christmas with us- last year this time it was difficult to truly get into the spirit of things while waiting for her to come home. But that all seems like a dream now- how things have changed in just one year! We can not wait to take her to church tonight so she can enjoy the music and hear our minister read the Christmas story to the children. Ladi loves to talk about "Baby Jesus"! And of course there is Santa's arrival tonight (we don't know if she really "gets" what will happen). The boys are eager to share all of our families' traditions with their sister. We will share pictures of the day with you soon. Love and peace, The entire Leger Gang

The whole "fam" at Enchanted Airlie (a local park on the water that our family loves to go to during the spring and summer to listen to the concerts.) We love all the Christmas lights!

Steven and I had a "Griswold Christmas" party. My good, good friends Mark and Susanne came dressed as Cousin Eddie and his wife Katherine. I have not laughed that hard in a long time!!! Steven even had a friend bring by his old RV and parked it in front of the house. Our neighbor asked if we were having company for the weekend! You should have seen the relief on her face when she found out it was only staying parked there overnight!!!

One of my dear friends Mandy and Ladi. Mandy gave her this outfit for Christmas because it has candy on the skirt and Ladi calls her "Candy" Mandy! They both LOVE clothes!!!

Big Day! Ladi Elizabeth and her girl buddies had a Tea Party with Santa. And of course Brady was the only boy invited! The children had a wonderful time talking with Santa. Ladi was so excited to have him at her house- she kept bringing him presents she had made! And Brady listened to everything he had to say! We also decorated sugar cookies with LOTS of icing and sprinkles! And the food was DIVINE! (to quote my dear friend Susanne)
Blake also had a very exciting day- while he and Bryson and Steven were playing golf this afternoon- Blake made a "HOLE-IN-ONE"! Playing at Pine Valley on the 7th hole, 150 yard par 3, Blake teed off with a 7 wood and seconds later watched his ball disappear into the cup for his first ever "ACE"!
