Christmas was extra special this year here in France. All fourteen Tabailloux's were together under one roof! It was cozy, loud, chaotic, wonderful, full of life and memories. With the family split between countries and babies multiplying, our time together as a whole unit will soon be hard to come by and for that reason we enjoyed every minute. We were worried about how you would react to sharing everyone's attention with your sweet cousin Liesel, but you proved to be very accommodating to her need for the love and affection of your adoring aunts, uncles and Mamie and Papi. You were extra sweet with her, and for that we were so thankful. It was a full week of celebrating Christmas, Aunt Jenny, Papi, Liesel, and New Years. We didn't leave the house much, but with all that was going on the time passed by far too quickly. We all stayed up too late, slept in, and ate well spending lots of time around the table. Meal time is sacred here in France, and in our family, which made for many good conversations and quality time that was savored to the full. It was a much anticipated Holiday season with all of us being together, and it was truly a blessed time.

It is the biggest blessing being a part to two big, beautiful, loving families. As Mamie says, "We are abundantly rich!"
