Christmas was wonderful and oh, so heartbreaking this year. Arlo has been so excited all month for Christmas to arrive and this year for Christmas he got 2 ear infections and strep throat. He started to get sick the day before Christmas eve, that night he woke up with a temperature of 104.8!!! I was in panic mode. I started in with rotating through advil and tylenol to keep his temp down, and the next day his temp spiked up past 104 two more times with being on the meds. So on Christmas Eve we went to urgent care. No one wants their child to be sick, but I was grateful that when we went to urgent care they didn't just send us home and tell us there was nothing they could do. When Arlo and I got home, it was already 7:00 PM, so for our Christmas eve program my dad, brother, husband and kids all listened to Tim read the story of our Savior's birth, opened our christmas jammies, and piled in the car to see Christmas lights. When we got home, we put the kids to bed, and then quickly remembered that we forgot to put out cookies for santa, so we got Arlo back out of bed, put cookies and milk out and an apple for rudolph.

Wearing Christmas Jammies
Even Bryce got some!
We had to drive by our favorite house again! On our way home from lights we noticed a red light flying through the air so, Arlo and Daddy went out to investigate and decided that is was, in fact, Santa and Rudolf!!!!!!
Looking for Santa!!
Leaving Goodies out for Santa and Rudolf!
When Santa did come... he left no stocking unfilled and brought way to many presents!!!!
We have no fireplace so we improvised!!!
Santa and Rudolf loved their cookies and milk and even left the boys a note!!!
The Power Wheels was a gift from Grampy and Uncle Bryce!!!!
The Christmas Day Bomb!!! And this was still with us picking up wrapping paper throughout the morning!
Santa thought I was extra good this year and brought me a new ipad!!!!
After a morning filled with presents, church, more presents and a much needed nap (after another horrible night with a sick child) we went over to grammy's house for Christmas dinner with my family and of course... more presents!!!!!!
Arlo and Lani got so carried away with opening presents, they started to open every present the touched, not caring who's it was! It was pretty funny!!!
Grammy opening up her new mop... (that was what she wanted!)
Brycie opening up his new shoes?????
Brycie, being Bryce and showing our sister Niki his unmentionables on facetime on my new ipad!! (It was so nice to have her there with out being in AZ!)
We made it though Christmas alive, but our poor baby spent most of the next day like this...
Overall it was a wonderful Christmas! I just pray that next year we will all be healthy for it!!!!
