So...I skipped Christmas. I feel like we went from thanksgiving to new years! Oh, and in that mix was the AUBURN TIGERS NATIONAL CHAMPS GAME!!! Anyways...we skipped Christmas in many ways. We've all been sick since thanksgiving. I started with a bad head cold. Combine that with nursing, and there are no meds to take! I'm sure our airplane ride to Austin didn't help any! Then, Hannah got pink eye. As soon as hers cleared up, Isaac got it. Then Emma. Then Micah. Oh...then it started over. Hannah, Isaac, Emma, and Micah again! Thankfully Zach and I stayed clear of the pink eye! In the mix of pink eye, we took Isaac to see an ENT. He suffers from chronic sinus infections. He's been on antibiotics and a steroid nose spray for that last 18 days and will continue till day 21. We see the dr again on Tuesday to see how he's doing. In one week, we saw 4 drs! Emma had an ear ache and some virus. Hannah then picked that virus up. Both girls, in opposite weeks of course, were running 103 fever and had snot pouring from their face! Praise God that Micah remained well.
So, with having sickness after sickness in our home from thanksgiving to new years, there was not a lot of christmas celebration! We didn't make cookies to decorate, no ornaments to be decorated, not many parties attended, no shopping for good deals, not much baking, the house didn't smell like ginger and cinnamon, and worst of all, my kids spent christmas day getting fevers. BUT, we did celebrate that Jesus was born!! Isaac made sure we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and we did tell the kids all about the birth of Jesus. No, it's not the first they heard of it, but kids need reminding...and so do we!
I hope you all had a very merry christmas and had time to slow down and enjoy why we celebrate!
