~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!!

Dear Heather,
I sang that whole "Elijah" song through for my kids and by the time we were to the end Josiah was singing with me. Very cute! Where do you get all your ideas? They are great!!! Wow, and I love those christmas pictures. It inspires me to get a family picture taken this season, too. Love, Hannah

Your Christmas rhyme is darling and so like my big "little" girl now turned Mommy to put all her cute thoughts in rhyme. Oh what busy days! I just tried your "easy" mocha fudge with a borrowed spoon of instant coffee. The only thing is that I decided it should be cooked to soft ball stage before adding the other ingredients and guess what - it did not! ;-) So next time I will do as Heather says. I love you, Moma
