Lesiewicz Christmas

The movie 4 Christmas' has nothing on us. We started the family get-togethers the Saturday before Christmas and kept partying until the day after Christmas with all our family. We had such a wonderful time seeing everyone over the holidays. Here are some highlights of the Lesiewicz get-together on Christmas Eve....
Camryn just loved pointing out the snowman, baby Jesus and Santa ornaments on the Christmas tree. It became a fun game for her and a great way to keep her occupied while Mom got food ready for all the Christmas parties.


Grandma and PaPa Lesiewicz with Camryn before the party starts.

Although Cami absolutely adores her Aunt Marisa, she refused to smile in a photo with her.
All the kids played so great together. The house was packed with our huge family and all the kids did so great. And when I mean all the kids, I mean ALL the kids...
Almost all the grandkids and great-grandkids are pictured above. We missed you Michael! Everybody else was able to make it safely with all snow, even the Martins from North Carolina trucked it back to Michigan for Christmas this year with the 4 kids, Brian came from Milwaukee and the Reygaerts came from Detroit. We were so happy to see everyone! Especially John Martin who is back from serving in Africa. We're all so proud of him. Thanks John for your service!Camryn just loved baby cousin Cate. She clobbered her with kisses and hugs.
The night wouldn't have been complete without a visit from Santa. All the kids were so excited and this year he passed the test - none of the kids noticed it was Uncle Ed!Camryn sat tight with Daddy when Santa arrived. We tried to get her to go closer, but she started crying and shaking and ran right back to daddy's lap. And as an excellent finish to the family Christmas party, John and I were the 2008 Lesiewicz Family Pool Tournament Champs. I have a shiny new trophy that proudly sits on my mantle, a few bucks in my pocket from the side bet, and bragging rights for the whole year. Priceless.

Super cute pictures Renee! Funny that you won the pool tournament....awesome. Some people like to assume that I excel at pool because Asians are good at math & geometry & are therefore also good at pool...and because of that crazy Asian lady called the "Black Widow" If only any of this could be true. Hope you had a Happy New Year!!
