Welcome Home Big Nana

Although Big Nana isn't one of the Fay, Ward or Joyce Babies, she means so much to them and to all of us we had to say Welcome Home Big Nana!! We are all so glad that you are feeling better and will be able to celebrate the holidays with us!!

Nolan's First Christmas

Christmas was all that it was cracked up to be!!! A great birthday party for baby Jesus on Christmas Eve and a lot of celebrating all week long. I love my Mommy and Daddy so much and want to thank them for the best Christmas I ever had!!!

Gingerbread Girl

When Nana was baking her gingerbread people, she must have put a lot of baking powder in one of them because look at what she got! Gingerbread Charlotte!!! She is delicious!

Christmas At Our House

What a wonderful year! Nana came home from the rehabilitation center and is feeling great. That was the best Christmas gift that any of us could ask for. This year we had our new babies to join us for our holiday celebrations. God is good to us and he blessed us this year with Charlotte and Nolan. Nana Lue Lue and Papa Tiger visited with the Wards in CT a few weeks before the holiday. Nana got to see Charlotte sit on Santa's knee. She never made a peep, she just loved him! Nana Lue Lue also had a pleasure of being with Camille, Louis and Nolan when they visited with Santa. Camille was so great and helpful. She reminded Santa that her baby cousins couldn't talk so she took the opportunity to ask Santa to remember to bring them "baby toys". What a helper she is! Louis was also fabulous. He really enjoyed sitting on Santa's lap and telling him how much he wanted pajamas! Papa Tiger and Nana had a wonderful meal at Elise and Richie's house a few nights before Christmas. It was great to see how beautifully their house was decorated and how far it has come in a short time. Christmas eve the Fays and the Joyces joined Nana and Papa for Mass at St. Joseph's Church. We then all ate a traditional fish feast that Nana Lue Lue prepared. Camille and Louis decorated gingerbread people that Nana baked for them. Christmas Day, Elise and Richie were with the Joyce Family and they had a great day. Big Nana, Nana Lue Lue and Papa Tiger went to Andrea and David's house. She had the house decorated like a Christmas show house. Their great room was full of gifts that were scattered around their huge tree. Camille exclaimed, "We must have been at the top of his list!! There are a million presents!" As always Andrea did a fabulous job. Our dinner was enjoyed by our family and also by Hope, Justin and Eli. Later Andrea and David's friends joined us for dessert. The festivities didn't end on Christmas because we had the pleasure of having Lauren, Paul and Charlotte come to MA on Friday. They stayed at Andrea's house but we had another Christmas dinner on Friday night at Nana and Papa's. More gifts, fun and as always laughs and plenty of food. Paul's New Year's Eve birthday was a party at Andrea's house. We enjoyed Chinese food and played games. Camille and Louis made Uncle Paul cookies and gave the birthday boy a "sparklie" crown that he wore for them! It was wonderful having everyone together and enjoying the holiday and to have it last for a week was just great! The family wishes all our family and friends a healthy, happy 2007. God bless our family and our wonderful friends.

Camille Is Six!

What a wonderful celebration! Camille turned six years old on November 29th. A great party was held in her honor. Camille had a Tiger cake and all of her friends had their faces painted and wore great animal costumes while they filmed a video for her. This Safari party is one that we will all remember for a long time! It was so much fun to see Louis, Nolan and Camille's friends enjoy themselves so much. Camille says "Thanks" to everyone for coming to her party!
