Twas the Night Before Christmas...

...and all through the house every creature was puking probably even a mouse. Okay not everyone in our family was puking only 3 of the 5 children, the other 2 have bad coughs and I have had more fevers in the last two weeks than I swear I have had in the first 30 years of my life! I think David is the only one that wasn't sick in some way shape or form over Christmas... well, expect for Christmas night very briefly... he was our saving grace for sure!
But all things considered I guess we had a pretty good Christmas. We were all well enough to make the journey up north to see the family Christmas Eve night.Did you ever feel like you forgot one? Yep, I his own Mother forgot to find Brody when I rounded up all the kids for pictures the first time. We knew something about the first ones just went a little too smoothly...Family Christmas 2008 Picture...Grandma with her girls...The kids waiting at the top of the stairs Christmas morning. We are mean parents that make them wait upstairs until 8 am when they come running in our room to announce that it is time!She looks thrilled doesn't she? This is the child that unlike Brody will get dress but still hates wearing undies.Baby's first stocking...And even though Dave spent his Christmas and 2 vacation days tending to his very sick family he still found time to take the kids out to play in the snow like he had promised. What a great Dad! Between him and my Mom I am not sure what we would have done these past couple of weeks.
