Miracles do Happen .........















Just sometimes, they really do like each other =) Of course they had just finished opening presents so they were both pretty happy...just kidding. We had some crazy days and now it is time to start getting back into the grove of normal bed times and getting up before 11am everyday =) We are taking Christmas down today and have a party tomorrow night with everything winding down on Monday with the yearly church flag football game for the men =) I am sure I will take a lot of bandages and Bactine =)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas as we did!!!! Even through all the hectic days and nights, I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!!

Until next time...........

Christmas Highlights.......




















Of course we made cookies =) and of course we made Jesus's Birthday cake. Those are yearly traditions at our house! Lauren got a puppy from Vince!!!! Her father was so against it, but it seems ole dad has gotten a little attached =)

Reid is 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a week!!! My baby is 5!!!! His birthday was Saturday, Dec. 9th (pictures to come). He had a Pump It Up party with 19 of his friends =) It was crazy and of course, he was sick! Just the whole breathing thing. It kind of gets in the way of being able to jump like a mad man on all the inflatable things when your having to stop to catch your breath and use an inhaler. So hard to believe he is 5!!!!!!!!!!

Nin flew down on Tuesday, Dec. 5th! Yeah!! We had a great time as usual and got to do a few things that don't happen every time she comes (thank goodness). Wednesday, we did some shopping and did some wrapping trying to get ourselves really geared up for Thursday when all kids were in school. We had our plans to finish our shopping (including birthday and Christmas) and have a great lunch and a little fancy place. We had just left Academy when those plans were blown wide open. Of all the boys, Alec got hurt at school and split his head open and was out cold. They brought him out in a wheel chair and then we spent 3 hours at the ER getting his head stapled shut and getting the CAT scan and X-rays! Who would have ever thought! We just knew it would be Reid that day since I had already started his breathing treatments the night before. Just goes to show, you never know =)

The whole family went to see Happy Feet Friday night and then came home and opened Christmas from Nin! Fun night!! Saturday, Reid had a basketball game and then it was home to assemble party favor bags and time to get the cake and head to the party! Mom left yesterday afternoon and we can honestly say, we did more than we planned this time!! Got to see the inside of an ER that I had actually never been to =)

Until next time .....................
