December

I could tell you all about our Christmas.  How much of a success and how much fun we had.  But really what we did this year was make the most out of a bad situation.

All of December someone in our family was sick.  And people are still sick as we near January.

I have to apologize to all the relatives who got cash or are getting cash for Christmas.  If it wasn’t bought over black Friday, then you probably are not getting the gift I planned on getting you.  I did not get out to the stores to buy gifts and I did not get things done I wanted to make.

Let’s break it all down.

Oliver had fevers/stomach bug for a few days right after Thanksgiving.

Kristen had stomach bug for a few days.

Bella had stomach bug for a few days.

Oliver had coughing/cold for a week.

Bella had ???  She just wouldn’t eat and wasn’t feeling good for over a week.

Oliver got a fever with more coughing and being miserable for a week (to include a horrible Christmas Eve night and Christmas Day).

Kristen got coughing and still has it.

Bella got coughing/achiness/general fussiness??????? and still has it.

Jesse is starting to get sore throat, stuffiness, etc.

I also could mention that on almost every one of our advent Christmas activities someone was sick when they were happening.

Here is our Christmas photo for this year.  The fact we are all in our pajamas is because everyone was feeling kinda crappy.

Hey at least we are trying to smile!

Here’s hoping somehow miraculously that we can ring in the New Year all in good health!
