Our Christmas Week was full of lots of different things and some unexpected. I had intended to finish up my shopping on Monday and then get everything in order for the weekend. Well, as often happens my plans do not prevail!
Monday: Sallie was sick-terrible cough, fever, just overall feeling yuck. Home from school
Tuesday: Sallie seemed a little better but still not great. Still home from school
Lizzie lost her first tooth! I tried to take a picture but unfortunately she inherited my overbite and the lost tooth is on the bottom so I couldn’t get a pic that really shows it.
Wednesday: Sallie was worse. Still home from school. We took her to the Dr and she had something viral (like the flu but not the flu) and had developed bronchitis. One word-STEROIDS! Steroids and Sall do not mix! WOW!
A’s Birthday! Bless his heart he didn’t get much of a celebration… However, his mom and dad got him a Kindle which he wanted A LOT so he was happy!
Thursday: Sallie was better but she missed her last day of school before Christmas break.
Lizzie had her class Christmas Party!
We were thrilled that she and Ell were FINALLY out for Christmas break!
A and I were FINALLY able to finish up some shopping and buy groceries that night.

I thought these water bottles that one of the moms did for the party were so cute! They had paper mustaches attached and a flavor pack so the kids could make their own and they were all green or red.
Hard to believe she is nearly half way through Kindergarten…
Millie was excited to have her sister’s home!
Friday: We spent much of the day cooking. We mostly did finger foods to have for the next few days.
Sallie was much better but did I mention she was on STEROIDS??? Terrible pic but she did a lot of this (along with anger outbursts!)
Christmas Eve morning we went to Hanna’s so that she and Sallie could exchange Christmas gifts since they had not seen each other all week. I can not say enough how thankful we are for sweet Hanna! I called her mom and told her we would be there in about 25 min. and her mom said she set a timer to countdown. Wish I had a picture of the bracelet Hanna gave her. It says Best Friends Forever!
This takes us through Christmas Eve at lunch. Stay tuned for the rest of Christmas!
