Christmas and House!

We started off our Christmas celebrations at my mom's the Saturday before Christmas. The kids were super excited about seeing Addie, Auntie Em, and Uncke Reed at CC's house.  We all had a great time!  

We had a few days at home to enjoy some rest and relaxation and "Buddy the Elf" shenanigans.  Buddy is our "elf" who visits from the North Pole. 

Christmas Eve we celebrated Christmas with Nana, Pawpaw, Aunt KK, and Aunt Val. Again, a great time was had by all. 

Christmas Day was full of lots of fun!  We started off the morning bright and early at our house, headed to West for Christmas with the Paynes, the north to Ft. Worth to celebrate wit Memaw and Pepaw. 

It was a very fun Christmas. The kids had a blast!  It'll be even more fun with 3 little ones next year!!  

Now on to the house...  Many of you know we are building a new house. We bought about 3 acres last March.  The house should be ready for move in late January to early February. We cannot wait!!  

Wordless Wednesday!

Thanksgiving 2014 (and croup)

We had a pretty busy Thanksgiving this year. We started the festivities off Thursday morning and headed to College Station for Thanksgiving with my family. We had tons of delicious food and lots of laughs. 

Friday morning Kinley woke up with a pretty yucky cough. I didn't think a whole lot of it because both kids had had runny noses for a few days. I assumed it was allergies.  They both got a Vicks Vapor bath and we went on with our normal plans Friday. 

Buddy the Elf also arrived Fruday after nap. He brought the kids each a pair of Christmas pajamas. 

Friday evening we went to dinner with Nana, Pawpaw, KK, and Val and got the kids in bed pretty early since they weren't feeling 100%. 

About 10pm Kinley woke up with a wheezy cough. I immediately worried about RSV or something more serious. We took her to urgent care. Prognosis- croup. She got a shot, breathing treatment, and prescription for some meds.  She finally went back to sleep around 3am. Rough night. 

Saturday morning Harrison woke up with the same yucky cough. I called and got him a prescription for the same meds.  Kinley seemed to be feeling a little better. We had another Thanksgiving with Memaw, Pepaw, and Val. Thankfully we were at our house since the kids weren't feeling well.  

We spent the rest of the holiday weekend relaxing and recovering. 

As of today, the kids are feeling much better. They still have the cough, but it's not near as bad. 

Wordless Wednesday!
