Mike's parents joined in on the fun and both sets (well my dad was at home working :( ) of grandparents were here so we had the baby's blessing and Ian's Baptism.
My mom left and Mike's parents were here for another week - my mother in law ended up falling one night and dislocated her shoulder!! It happened at midnight and Mike had to take her to the A&E - we're legend now here for going to the A&E (ER) 3 times within our first 3 months staying here! They had to stay until 5AM and Mike had to go to work still. On top of that my FIL caught a cold and so we stayed in.
They went home on the 19th and then Louise, Max & Sophia arrived on the 21st to celebrate Christmas. We had a really good time. New Year's was much quieter - Cman went to a friend's house (they are from Lafayette!) and the rest of us made homemade pizza and had ginger ale. It was sad not watching "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years" but we watched Sir Elton instead - pretty sedate in comparison.
We've cleaned up our Christmas decorations which few we had and organized some things I couldn't get to before the baby was born so our house looks much more organized! Louise told me once that her Japanese mom always said you should try to have a clean house upon the new year to bring forth good luck (or atleast an organized house) for the new year! So I've hedged my bets and our house looked great!
Happy New Year!
