Have Yourself a Sickly Little Christmas

Christmas was very fun this year, as we got to watch John Michael open WAY too many gifts. We also got way too many nice things and some things that we really needed. I'm still not sure how we're going to get all this stuff back to Arkansas.  We're going to need a car top carrier!  Everyone here has a nasty cold (except me, so far!) and John Michael caught it, along with an ear infection and now Jordan is feeling under the weather.  We were supposed to leave early this morning, but we may be staying another day or so.  You don't hear me complaining, though! 

Update:  JM AND Jordan are sick.  They have both been to the doctor today.  JM has walking pneumonia with double ear infections, cough, and runny nose.  Jordan has a bad sinus infection and he has been in bed trying to get well.  We've had a day full of doctors and waiting on prescriptions at the pharmacy.  On a funny note, we got to go see our old family pediatrician.  It was neat to be able to take JM to see him.  He knows so much and is such a wonderful, caring doctor.  I have NO idea when we're going to make it back to Arkansas.  I am praying that I don't get sick.  It's never good when Mom is sick!

Here's a look at our Christmas through pictures:

Eating is FUUUUNNN!

Can you tell how little John Michael has been sleeping while we've been here by the look in my eyes?!

Elmo Live!

World's Cutest Baby!

Check me out in my new Alabama umbrella stroller. Jack likes it too.

What a day!

We don't have too many pictures from MeMe's and Papa's house because John Michael was NOT a happy camper by the end of Christmas day and he basically was crying and whining the whole time.

Books from great-grandmother!

"Papa got me a radio flyer rocking horse!"

"I want Uncle Ray's hair!"

What a sweet Christmas baby

Hopefully everyone will be on the mend here in a day or two.  We can't stay in Alabama forever, but it's nice for everyone to be sick here while we have grandparents to help us rather than in Arkansas with no grandparent help!  I'm loading up on Zicam and Vitamin C today in hopes that it will help!
