Christmas





Matt's parents came for Christmas. We started out having a great visit, but it went down hill quickly. Sophia was the first to get sick, she had an ear infection, a respiratory infection, and a stomach virus. The next day Audry got the stomach virus which meant a lot of laundry and carpet scrubbing for mom. That night Matt got the same stomach virus, then Amelia, Shelby, and I got sick. We thought that Matt's parents might survive without getting sick, but no such luck. Shelby had a fever and seamed sicker than the rest of us so I took her to the pediatricians office (where they know us all by name because we are there once a week) and found out that she had strep throat too.
I have two kids on antibiotics and have done at least 5 loads of laundry per day for the last week. Needless to say this has not been my favorite christmas.

The kids got a Wii for Christmas this year, and Santa brought the Millenium Falcon for the girls. We have been playing rock band several hours a day on the Wii. It is so much fun!

I hope you all had a great Christmas!!!

That's insane about everyone getting sick. So much work for you. No Flu this year right? I think I recall you saying something about getting a flu shot. I'm glad everyone is near recovered. Mady had some kind of 24 hr bug but luckly it didn't get passed on to any of us.
Madison turned 8 last friday. So crazy!
