Here are more things that made me smile:
Evan's resiliency: After he injured his fingers, he bounced right back and rarely complained about them. On occasion, he would whimper, but for the most part, he was a trooper~
My niece Samantha- I don't get to see her often, so I was treasuring my 20 month old niece. She has the most precious smile that she offers when asking you to "Sit." She pulls you by the fingers and guides you to a chair where you need to read to her or play with her. I was thrilled that she allowed me to read a few books to her over the weekend.
The kids and the train: There is something about a train to entrance little kids. Chris' parents set up a little train track around the base of their tree every year, and the kids enjoy watching the train run around the track. All four sat together at one point to watch together. It was a Kodak moment. As soon as I got my camera out, two of my boys felt it prudent to begin their best WWF impression.
After our big gift opening session, we were all feeling quite pampered and spoiled. The next day we decided to get out of the house for awhile, so we went bowling. The kids enjoyed playing while Samantha was only able to watch-- I don't think she minded.
This last picture represents everyone on the Doucette side of the family but us. Andrew wanted to take a picture so that he could remember everyone when we weren't there. I thought his sentiment was touching.
It was an amazing holiday with too many anecdotes to share. We miss you all~
