Busy Christmas season

It's been a busy couple of weeks.  The whole family got sick after Thanksgiving and it took a few weeks for everyone to get better.  Luckily everyone got better for Christmas.   This year Kate had a Christmas concert at preschool.  Unfortunately, Kate was out sick and missed all but one rehearsal.  She did a good job pretending like she knew the songs.  It was very cute.

Christmas Eve was really good.  The kids of course got lots of great presents.  I'll post more about that later.

Everyone has been sick!

I haven't posted in a while because everyone in our house has been sick.  The day after Thanksgiving started with Claire, then Kate, me, and Jamisen.  It's been a rough time getting everyone better.  Just when we thought we were all on the mend Kate started to get sick again. We took her into the doctor and she has pneumonia.  She's been on antibiotics a few days so I'm really hoping this week she'll be better.

Kate is usually so excited about Christmas but since she's been sick she wanted nothing to do with decorating the tree.  We missed a gingerbread house class I had signed her up for.  I bought stuff to make one at home but she still isn't that interested.  She did ask today if she could open her Christmas gifts so maybe she's feeling a little better.

Claire was sick for about a week then she was back to herself.  She's been obsessed with climbing the stairs lately.  She loves to eat but is not a fan of baby food anymore.  She follows her big sister everywhere.

We're looking forward to the holidays, I'm just hoping everyone gets healthy and stays healthy!
