This past weekend we had our first of several Christmas celebrations this year. We went to my parents house and had Christmas with my mother's side of the family. It all started out really well. We arrived on Friday night and had a great time. The kids stayed up late and loved every minute of it. The big kids stayed up even later playing "Rock Band" and pretty much loved it as well. Then came Saturday... I woke up not feeling just right. The further along in the day, the worse it got. So, to sum it up shortly, I missed Ashlyn's 1st Christmas, due to fever and throwing up, missed hanging out with my grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, and siblings. We were suppose to leave to be back home on Saturday night, and there was no way for that. We did make it home on Sunday evening, but just barely. Even today, Tuesday, I feel crummy. (So much for the flu shot.) I just pray that no one else gets it, including my grandmother who is going through radiation. Anyway, enough about me...Monty and the kids had a great first Christmas. Caleb and Ashlyn both enjoyed opening up stockings and all of their presents. They have played and played since we have been home.
Don't we have a cute knight?
Ashlyn loves offering "chi" (tea) and "suk" (juice) to everyone.

I'm feeling for you Heather. Last Christmas I was so excited because it was Linden's first Christmas and Hadley was actually understanding about Santa and could hardly wait for Christmas morning. After staying up late putting together last minute stuff and setting up the video camera I could barely lift my head Christmas morning. I was sick almost all day and felt like I missed the whole thing. It was a total bummer and to make things worse Stefan keeps saying to me this year, can you not get sick this time. Like I could help it and enjoyed laying on the floor trying not to move so I wouldn't throw up all over everything.
I hope you're feeling better and can enjoy the rest of your Christmas celebrations. It looks like someone at least took pictures for you.
wow, do i know how to rock the mic or what?
