He's 2, what can I say!
I have yet to actually get "still" photos of Christmas morning. I was busy with the video camera and Dave was helping Corey with his gifts; so I'm in the process of trying to collect them from my family that was there. We loved having Christmas breakfast and "santa" presents in our own home this year and then still being able to go to mom and dad's for presents and Christmas dinner. My whole family was together again this year since Tyler's return from the Dominican Republic in February. My mom's dad was also able to join us from Star Valley, Wyoming.
Christmas did not end exactly as planned. We had to take Corey to the ER on our way home from dinner because he was having A LOT of trouble breathing. Kali had been sick the weekend before and he had woken up hoarse that morning; but it quickly turned for the worst by nighttime. They said Croupe when we first went in, but he also had some nasty virus that was keeping him very sick. After many shots, breathing treatments, and two days in the Oxygen Tent his oxygen levels were consistently where they needed to be. After chest xrays ruled out pneumonia we were able to take him home.
It was very sad to come home to our packed bags. We were supposed to leave for Seattle the day after Christmas to spend New Years with Dave's brother, sister-in-law, and their kids. However we are very grateful for how great our medical care is for being such a small place - and that the problem presented itself before we were up in the air.
We had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. We are very grateful for the opportunity to refelct on the Birth and Life of our Savior Jesus Christ; and for the spirit that fills this time of year.
