Some fun Christmas presents

Before we headed off to the grandparents, we opened some presents at home so we wouldn't have to drag them in the car. There wouldn't have been any room. 

Nathan loves Angry Birds so he got a blue bird. Elizabeth loves Rapunzel so she got some Rapunzel figurines. 

I like to buy them some toys they have to share. Here is a Ring Toss game. 

Karen and Ilene sent some walkie talkies all the way from New York. Wouldn't it be neat if the walkie talkes reached all the way to New York? 

Elizabeth loves stringing beads. 

Science kit! 

A kid slingshot

A camping set!

A fun painting toy. He used most all of the paint in one day. 

Elizabeth got some princess dolls. 

A camera sent from New York!

Spinning some paint. The toy was a hit, but he's about out of paint!

She was still sick and fell asleep while Jeremy was reading. 

Nathan read "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Can you tell Elizabeth is still sick? 

A lot of little houses

Our windowsills are full of little houses! Light up Christmas villages and gingerbread villages! 

A Beautiful Sunset

We had the most amazing sunset the other day! It looked like the sky was on fire it was so beautiful. It's hard to capture how beautiful it was in a picture, but I tried! 

A visit with Grandma Pam

Despite everyone being sick, Grandma Pam was nice enough to come visit and have an early Christmas! Luckily, when she was here, Jeremy and I were the sick ones and the kids were ok. She was very helpful around the house while I was down. Thank you Grandma Pam!

Grandma opened up Nathan's gift. He drew her pictures of the chicken life cycle! 

Both kids got some great new blankets! They like playing "We Three Kings" with them. 

Angry Birds socks! Nathan does love Angry Birds. 

It's been a rough week.

On Monday, Nathan woke up with a high fever. The last 5 days, every member of the family has succumbed to this virus. Nathan was sick for 2 days. He missed his first day of school for the year and he was upset. 

The day he started feeling better, Jeremy and I started feeling badly. Jeremy recovered after 2 days. I'm doing much better but still not 100% and yesterday evening, our little miss started slowing down. A check of her temperature revealed a fever of 101. 

You know the kids around here are sick when they fall asleep in places other than their beds. 

Headstands

The headstand epidemic is spreading. Look what I saw when I looked into the living room!
