Christmas

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas! It keeps getting more fun every year with more kids and them getting older. I just love it! We went down to Vista for several parties with my family on both sides. We spent Christmas Eve down there as well but came home late to put the kids in bed. We had a wonderful Christmas morning, totally perfect!, and then my family came to our house for a late lunch and to exchange presents. It was a wonderful day! But the kids were fighting a cold then entire week leading up to Christmas. I was hoping they would get better, but Christmas day they got worse and started running fevers. We took them in to the Dr. the next day and they gave Jayne antibiotics, her first ever and she's almost 4! They said Ryan wasn't sick enough, didn't look bacterial, and to wait. Well, Ryan got worse and worse. It was a horrible weekend. We couldn't go anywere or do anything. Lucky for me, Jason is off work all week from Christmas to New Years, so he was here to help with everything. We took Ryan back in first thing Monday morning and he had a full blown ear infection in both ears! It was so frustrating. Today he is finally really starting to act like himself again and is slowly getting better. Jayne is doing much better. What a week! Hopefully we won't be sick again for a long time! I've enjoyed the colder weather and rain, but maybe some more sunshine would get us healthy again! Looking forward to a fun New Year's Eve. We're going to celebrate with our brother and sister-in law and the kids tonight. Should be fun!
Christmas Eve Dinner at my Grandma's

Me, my Mom and Sisters- do we all look alike or what?!

Jayne was an angel and Ryan was a Shepherd for the Nativity play. Ryan was hilarious. He totally stood there by the baby and cradle for at least a half hour smiling and sticking his tongue out. It was so funny!
Everything ready to go! Santa came and left a slide, a Barbie house and a new bike!

Waiting on the stairs for pictures before getting to see what Santa brought! Jayne's in her new nightgown her Grandma Sharyn made. I couldn't get her out of it all day!

Jayne unloading her stocking! She was all smiles after her Santa gifts. She couldn't wait to open everything. She even helped all of us open our things.

Ryan's first Christmas! He loved the paper and his new toys.

Lots of presents to open!

Jayne trying out her new bike! And new helmet, and scarf and shirt.
