(I'm posting this for journaling reasons... Most of you will receive a copy of this in the mail. Enjoy again.)
So I've started our Christmas Letter a few times today... The first said "Merry Christmas! To our Family and Friends" Then the scream comes from downstairs.
"MOM!!! Liam's done..."
So I clean up that mess, and go back to start again. "Hello to our dear ones"... to yet another,
"MOM!! Liam's doing this…"
So needless to say after cleaning up the junk drawer from off of the floor, and wrestling away a pack of gum (chewed, with wrappers on), picking up and re-folding the laundry, unclogging the toilet, putting the decorations BACK on the Christmas tree, all the while trying to let you all know we are alive and well, isn't going to happen this year. I give up. Liam needs way more attention than one ten year old and a video can give him.
We are indeed alive and well. Elleory is a bit frazzled from being Mama’s helper but I’m sure she will survive, and a pedicure bribe won’t hurt. Liam might survive until he's two...his college fund won't. It will go straight to all of the damage he does to our home. Anders is at times a very mellow three year old, who loves to color and sit and do piecezzles (puzzles). He usually add commentary to the Liam episodes like
"Liam, leave the tree alone, or Mama's gonna take Christmas away!" Which has NEVER actually come out of my month, but I totally laugh at it. Or my personal favorite,
"Liam, Mama's gonna spank you in the butt!"
So as you can see things just go at our house, expectations, dreams of peace, and harmony...yep they go... right out the window! I'd love to write the traditional letter, telling you all about the year, but this is a way better picture.
Please take time to catch up with us at our blog, (which I update during Liam's nap time.) www.icebergstockholm.blogspot.com you’ll get a big picture of the year, and how things are (really) going, a little window into each family member’s life.
We love each of you, and wish you Joy, and Peace and Harmony in your home.
Merry Christmas!
Love, the Bergholms
