Aunt Edie's handy work!

Here is the vest and hat that Aunt Edie made for Elise. She LOVES it... and wears it every chance she gets. She loves anything that has a matching hat!

Thanks Aunt Edie!!

Back in the Day

So just for fun this year I'll be posting some old pics that I'll be scanning in. You never know what you might find!

We will kick it off with one of the cutest kids out there... seriously, any cuter and we may have eaten him :P



Me and Dad back in December 1981

Playing in the snow

So what? It's freezing out... big deal... we are CANADIANS and we can handle it! It was actually -20º on this particular morning... lol we didn't stay out for too long, just long enough to enjoy a sleigh ride!









This is just another pic of Elise getting all dressed up to go out and help Daddy put out the garbage. It was her first time getting all dressed up this year.... she was loving her new snowsuit!

Christmas Parties!

The 15th annual Lemieux Christmas Party was a hit as usual! It was extra special because Papa and Granny (Isaac and Vida) were there, and even extra extra special for us because Brian was here for it too! Their presences' have been MUCH anticipated.

The party was great! The food was unparalleled - as always - and I completely pigged out. But loved every second of the food and the company. It's always great getting together, helps you to remember that family is what really matters. And we have the BEST family out there. Love you all!

Hanging out with Uncle Brian



Isaac and Papa, waiting for Santa



Isaac getting his Santa gift



There was some confusion over WHICH Isaac was called, as Santa called for "Little Isaac".

December 13th - Isaac's 1st Birthday!!!

Mommy and her little man. How has this first year passed so fast? It seems to go so much faster this time... I guess because you're not just focused on one. Well that, and the excessive lack of sleep. Either way, I find it hard to believe that baby is one. *sigh*



Elise and Kristin sporting some party hats.



Isaac and Uncle Karl walking - Isaac isn't nearly as terrified of Karl as Elise is.



Isaac soaking up some Papa time.



Enjoying a laugh with Papa.

Lets party!!


Ya, that only lasted long enough for me to take the picture...



Singing him Happy Birthday!



Isaac's own personal cake... Elise decorated it... I just tried to help "guide" her so that is was somewhat accurate lol



Isaac's first taste



Elise is wondering when she gets to have some cake...



He decided that it was pretty good stuff.



This gives new meaning to Papa's "potatoes and point"... we like to call it cake and point now.



looks delicious doesn't it?



My chocolate baby. He REALLY enjoyed that cake!



looks like a mud hole...



operation transportation for hosing down:



now that's ring around the tub... looks like murky swamp water.
