MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

We had such a blast doing these Christmas pictures!! I firmly believe that
home taken pictures are by far the best. These especially show the personality of the kids!! What a fantastic year!!

More sickies and a little fun!!

So even though my mother begged me not to I am totally getting to rat my brother out. I am now referring to him and his family as the new and improved pitri dish!! His family came down for Thanksgiving. What a glorious day! Lots of food and fun and family time. Oh. Did I mention that they were all sick!! Yep, my nephew was on the up swing from pink eye and bronchitis and my sister-in-law was recovering from some kind of crud.
I thought that we were done with any medical misfortune within the walls of my home......enter the Pitri Dish. So far my life looks like this Pink Eye-3 cases, chest colds-4 cases, lost voices-3,lingering coughs-2.
Soooo.... this weekend... instead of going to one of my BF's long anticipated cookie exchange I got to go to WalMart for humidifiers,cold meds,vitamins and Clorox wipes!!
My poor kiddos are so freaked out because I haven't been to church in 5 weeks. They think I am headed straight for hell. I keep reasurring them that noone in our ward wants us to share our germs and yuckiness and i am sure I will be forgiven.
So, super long story short??? My brother is on the Naughty List and I am now on the inactive list!!

We did manage during all this madness to get our Christmas Lights up and get our decorating done. It has been a blast!! We got out the Christmas movies and have been watching them non stop. My favorite has to be Christmas with the Kranks!! I can so see Kelley trying to pull that stunt. The music is on in full force as well as the candles.
I absolutely love this time of year!! It looks like Tyler will be able to participate in the Live Nativity for our stake this year which I am so excited for this weekend.
The girls and I are going to go shopping this weekend(if everyone is fully recovered) and I am going to take them out to this place called "the Melting Pot" it is a Fondu place which should be interesting for them to experience. Hopefully it will start a pretty fun "girls only"tradition. Now what the boys will do while we are gone... who knows!!
Anyway........hopefully the cases of Pink eye will be gone this weekend and we can maybe get some Christmas Pics on this blog so I can stop with the whining and griping!!
