Sick

Why is it that kids get sick, are better for two days, and then get sick again? I'm so sick of sick! Sydney has caught yet ANOTHER COLD! She has had cold after cold since Halloween, and I'm starting to think she doesn't have an immune system. I guess we're going to have to pay the doctor a visit this week--grrrrrr!

In other health news, Dave is going under the knife on Thursday. He's decided to take care of his two small hernias in his intestines. Nothing too scary, but still no fun at all. I'm really not looking forward to sitting in the waiting room, nervously chewing my nails off. It was much better when I was the one being knocked out and cut open!

Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas - Collin loved Santa, they are best buds now. We did have a wonderfully hectic drive to Seattle for Christmas, but made it there in one piece - maybe with just a bit less sanity than when we started. Once there though, we had a lot of good memories...

We built a gingerbread house

Don't worry, all those presents are not ours

Sydney got princess shoes, games and clothes

Collin got dinosaurs, cars, balls and sunglasses. Dave and Kellie were spoiled with several gifts from various sources - from the new digital camera (where these pictures were taken), to Guitar Hero to lots of clothing and DVDs. We had lots of fun with family and enjoyed the immense amount of snow that was on the ground in Seattle. This was Kellie's first White Christmas, so it was lots of fun. Plus Kellie got to talk to her brother on a mission in the Philippines.
