Christine's Corner: January 2018

I want you to notice a theme in November. The theme was, nothing much happened because that is when the sickness moved in to our home.

Literally, we were home laying around trying to get better. Steve missed Thanksgiving because he was so sick. I barely made it with the kids.The boring pictures above are of our sick selves and why I posted nothing in November.

And in we roll to December, where someone in our home was sick the entire month again.

However, we pulled ourselves together to celebrate GG Faye's 100th birthday.

We forced ourselves to go out and do fun Christmas-y things and tried to overcome overly cranky-tired-not-feeling-to-great attitudes.

Basically the crud has been here too long (Cora just threw up 30 min to me writing this post) and we've been trying to keep our heads above water. We're fine, this will end eventually, but here is what I was able to gather of our Christmas this year.

We're occasionally seeing glimpses of these two loving each other :)

Sharing toys has been a challenge for both

Zoo Lights! (Jack sick)

Cora clearly LOVED Santa.

Jack didn't want to look at him.

GG Faye's 100th birthday party

Hunting for our Christmas Tree! We went into the woods again this year and it's always an adventure:) (Mama's sick)

She's got lots of air in between her branches but she grew on me.

Once again Steve was too sick for this holiday too.

Jack and I attended Christmas services and left a sick Daddy and Cora at home.

We brought a candle home so Jack could enjoy a bit of a candle light service.

Decorating sugar cookies!

One of my biggest regrets this Christmas was NOT getting a picture of my two dressed up for Christmas in front of our tree. We barely made it to all the events and it just didn't happen.
