We had a sick holiday season this year. Two weeks before Christmas Connor had ear infections. He was put on antibiotics and got feeling better. The week of Christmas he started to not feel well again and had a fever. On Christmas Eve Macie got a fever. So she stayed at grandma and grandpas while we went to the Christmas Eve program. Connor came with us, but didn't go onstage because he was still getting over whatever he had.
Mckenna was in the angel choir for the program. She sang her little heart out! It was adorable and I was super proud of her. When the program was over the kids were able to go up and see Santa and give him last minute requests. The kids all did so well this year and no tears were shed! I feel bad that Macie isn't in our Santa picture this year.
After the program we went up to grandma and grandpa Bonds. The kids opened up there new Christmas pajamas. They all looked very cute. Then we ate dinner and grandma and grandpa gave the kids gifts. Then we played a fun present exchange game. We then came home and got Santas cookies and milk out and settled into bed.
Christmas morning was horrible! Macie was still fevering and not feeling well. Ty and I both woke up sick. The little girls I think were starting to come down with it, but for the most part they were still okay. The kids were excited to see what Santa brought them. All 3 of the older kids got new bikes. Callie got a princess car. They got a few more fun things. Then we all pretty much just laid around not feeling good. It was so sad. We had to miss Christmas dinner at my mom and dads and I felt so sad.
It was a good Christmas despite everyone feeling horrible. By the time New Years rolled around we were all finally starting to feel better, but it went through every single one of us. A horrible horrible cold, fever, cough....Yuck!
I really hope we are all not sick for Christmas ever again. We spent most of Christmas break laying around watching movies. It was not a fun way to spend the holiday.
