Still Sick

Well, poor K is still sick - when they say the flu is 7 to 10 days, they mean it. The good news is that she feels a little better today but she still has fever. I feel sorry for her b/c the school work is piling up and she missed a slumber party on Friday as well as her basketball game and a birthday party on Saturday. We have watched many, many hours of Little House on the Prairie, Disney movies and Disney shows. So, continue to pray for her (and us).
Enjoy the pics from Christmas:
Kelsie on Christmas Eve right after our service at church. Our tradition is that we go to the service and then come home to open gifts and have dinner together.

Raider opening his gift - he got a new bed.

This year in order to keep Wayne and Kelsie from shaking and guessing what was in the boxes under the tree, I did not label them the traditional way with names to and from. Instead, I wrote codes on each one that corresponded with a verse and I was the keeper of the code. It was fun b/c Kelsie tried hard to figure out which gifts were hers. Anyway, when it was time to open gifts, each person had to read the verse that went with their gift before opening. It was fun and it kept our focus on WHY we give gifts - Jesus Birthday!

The earrings Wayne and Kelsie gave me. They are beautiful!

Kelsie got these sunglasses as an accessory with one of her outfits. She really doesn't love getting clothes so this made it a little more fun to get.


Wayne opening and reading his BIG gift from us - tickets for the Cowboy playoff game, this was a printout of the stadium showing where our seats are.

Christmas morning - Santa brought Kit, the American Girl doll. Kelsie loved her.

Our tradition on Christmas morning is to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus at breakfast so here is Kelsie blowing out the candle on the cinnamon roll.


On Christmas Day we traveled to my mom's house in San Angelo. We opened gifts and had dinner that night. Here is Wayne with his pile of gifts to open.


My neice, Hailey, opening gifts.


Kelsie gets the Wii game, Cooking mama - it's a cute game and she loves it!

Glad you got your computer fixed. Sorry Kelsie's under the weather. Josiah and Levi aren't feeling well today. I don't think it's the flu though. Enjoyed the pics.

Amy,

I do not know if you are interested, but the lady who does the blog giveaways is at it again. Visit her website and see what all is available. Also, if you are wanting to link to her website and get hundreds of people to sign up on your blog, sign up to give something away - alot of Christian women have home businesses and make things that they give away, or you could do a gift card like I did.

It is a fun way to meet others in the blog world.

Her site is http://rocksinmydryer.typepad.com/reviews/
