Our Christmas Break

Our Christmas break looked like a bunch of this:

ANd a bunch of this...

Next year I think the kids (and us) would like to celebrate Christmas in a different way!!

Best Buds

These two have already become quite the pair... they are both sound asleep in this pic!

Christmas Morning

We got to spend Christmas morning with Grammy and the girls... the kids had so much fun opening presents (although they were still sick at the time).

Christmas Eve- at parents

Christmas Eve the kids were ready for Santa to come. Luckily they got to spend it at Sugar and Pops' house. They were not disappointed, sick...yes....but that couldn't stop the fun!!

Nativity play

The kids enjoyed being in the Nativity play...Halle was Mary, Bennett (and D) were sheperds, and Miles was a lamb...who refused to have anything to do with the play. Kids did great and had fun...Halle even memorized her parts!




Then they got to sit on Santa and Mrs. Clause's lap!!!

Time with Jean & Russell

Before Christmas we were able to spend time with Jean and Russell. They were so generous and took us out to Golden Corral (sp?) we had so much fun!!

Reason 578 Why I LOVE our pediatrician.

It is always hard moving, it really doesn't matter how far you go-always hard. One of those hard things has been leaving our pediatrician. Anyone that has kids can understand this one- once you find one that you like/love it is always hard finding another one that you appreciate as much. We moved away from Vegas right before Thanksgiving and really haven't needed to find another pediatrician so we haven't been to see the new one we "claimed" on our new insurance. This week we headed up North to visit family during the holiday and lo and behold I forgot Bennett's nebulizer. And OF COURSE he started having some major asthma issues last night. Of Course. I called our old pediatrician from Vegas last night and they gave me some over the counter stuff to try. This morning at 7:30 am their time the nurse called back to check on Ben. I told her he wasn't doing too hot so SHE worked our new insurance to get us a new nebulizer delivered to my mother-in-laws home, she got some new meds called in to our local CVS (mind you it sounds a lot easier...all the red tape that had to be crossed) but yes, once again our pediatrician came through. I love them. And if you have never loved your pediatrician before...it might be time to switch to one who you can appreciate!
