~Elijah's 12 days of Christmas song~

Thank you for all your sweet comments on my last post. We have been busy living, going to church, baking lots of new recipes, spending fun family time, shopping and wrapping presents, and helping a young couple in one of our churches have a wedding today...12.20.08. I have lots of pics to post, but I'll post this for right now, for we just got back from the wedding and I'm exhausted. (Plus last night I bought some coffee and a donut. I asked for mostly milk, just a tad of coffee, but it became evident at 4:00 AM that it had more coffee then I thought...for both Elijah and I were WIDE awake and stayed that way for quite some time. =)
Our family is in LOVE with our Elijah. He brings sooo much JOY to our home!

Being in a silly mood I asked my family to help me write the song below...but please know it is just a joke...our little Elijah could NOT be more loved!!
