Well, I know Christmas & New Year is pretty much gone at this point, but I haven’t had a chance to post anything since the plague hit our family! We ended up catching every contagious sickness over Christmas and it has taken 2 1/2 weeks to recover! One of us has had something wrong every day since Christmas! The boys have just now recovered from the last cold that left them with a nasty cough & runny noses.  We are praying for health for the New Year!

Anyway, Christmas was wonderful this year with the boys. It was also absolutely crazy because we had a million family gatherings to attend but we survived.  Poor Elijah had a rough Christmas because he reacted to his flu shot and ran a fever the whole time.  Someone ended up holding him almost the entire time. They still had fun opening presents and playing with the paper….and then eventually the toys.  They got all kinds of toys from cars/riding toys, walkers,  to toy maracas and guitars.  They were so cute to watch as they inspected the toys and tried to figure out what to do with it.  Santa Claus sure was good to them this year! They definitely racked up! Our living room has been taken over by toys….

Here are a few pictures of our Christmas with the boys….

2009 is here! I can’t believe it.   Last New Years I was enormously pregnant.  It is amazing how time flies! We brought in the New Year (of course Jack & Eli didn’t know it…) and we are excited to see what 2009 brings.  Here is a picture of our family on New Years. Can’t you tell they love the hats……haha!
