CHRISTMAS EVE
Dave, Jan, Brian, Beth, and Lily were here. We ate, made sugar cookies for Santa, opened the Christmas Eve PJ's (which every child had a matching pair thanks to Grammy Jan!) opened a few presents from out of state relatives (Thanks everyone!) and of course put out the Reindeer food before we went to bed....
CHRISTMAS MORNING
Grace was up at 5am. We put her off for a little while, but eventually quit torturing her and woke everyone (but Morgan) up. We opened presents from Santa and the grandparents. And played, and played, and played, and played.
Dave and Jan MADE those cool adirondack chairs for all 5 grandkids. No they weren't kits - Dave designed them and cut every piece. And they made the cool wood truck, trailer, and car you see in the same picture.
Notice there are no pictures of Morgan on Christmas day. It's because he STILL hasn't been awake long enough to open his presents. The whole family has been sick. I've had the kids to the Dr 5 times in the last 8 days (including two different appointments on Christmas Eve), countless hours and $350 later they're all medicated. Morgan ran a fever for 6 days straight. He's slept literally 64 out of the last 72 hours. We've had the normal cold virus, a weird bacterial skin infection, the vomit virus, and all three have ear infections. Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Despite that we tried to make the best of it and had a very Merry Christmas and I hope you did too!

Great pics Stace! The children look adorable and I love the adirondack chairs. Glad you had a Merry Christmas. Hope your New Year's was blessed too!

Oh girlfriend!!! Sounds like a wonderful Christmas despite the "cruds". Your story reminded me when Dave, Taylor & I drove to Missouri for Christmas. He came down with strep throat and I had a SEVER sinus infection. All the pictures Christmas day are of Taylor & I comatose on the couches or asleep.
Hope everyone gets healthy soon!!
Hope you guys are all better now. Nothing like passing something around the household 2-3 times. Sounds like you had a great Christmas. Love your kitchen. Turned out great. Wes painted our living room the other day, it is now a green/gold color. We'll paint the other two walls a sand color next time we have another nice weekend. (and a wild hair).
Miss you.
