Christmas was good this year. I just love watching the girls get excited and open the presents...even my presents but what the heck they (as in Kennedy) were having fun! We had to wake Kennedy up just before 9:00, or I think she would have slept right through Christmas. We let Reagan sleep until she finally woke up at almost 10:00.
Why were the such sleep heads? Well, the thursday before Christmas Reagan had a fever, so I took her in...and the basically sent me home with nothing! But by that weekend her fever spiked and she was sleeping all day, I knew something was wrong... but the Dr. said 2 days before that she was fine. I couldn't even get an appt. at the insta care (you know the "walk in" clinic) I called the on call Dr. at my office and she was great. She really helped, and I ended up just giving the poor kid motrin. By Christmas Eve it was still getting worse. So I took her in yet again. This time, double ear infections! Poor kid. I knew something was wrong, but they told me she was fine. Well, that night her ear drum burst! It was so sad, she has just been cuddling for a week by this point, and there wasn't anything I could do. My dr. office wasn't picking up the phone or giving the # to the on call Dr. so finally a nurse at the hospital called the nursery, who paged the dr. office, who never called back, and then asked an E.R dr. to call me back to answer some questions. What the run around!!! He said she was fine with the RX she was on, and told me to give her Motrin and Tylenol and she'd get better. Apparantly a burst ear drum isn't the end of the world. And to top it off, Kenendy got an ear infection right after Christmas!! What a week. Long story, sorry.
Needless to say, they were troopers and opened their presents and even played a little.
Kennedy trying to sleep standing up, she was SO tired
Reagan's favorite spot the past week or so, with Daddy
They finally perked up, and were such good helpers for Daddy

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry those poor kiddos...and poor mommy. Glad they are doing better, we still need to take Paige sledding...she loves the snow!
I still feel so bad for Reagan! You tell her Aunt Crystal will feed her all the peas she wants! Christmas is SOOO much better with the kids!
Sorry the girls were sick. They were pretty good about it though. I'm glad we got to spend some of the holidays with all of you.
They look so sad!! I'm glad they were better by the time you came up!!! I love them so much!
Sometimes I feel like I could fall asleep standing up too! Especially with the nights I've been having! Oh, by the way.. I have more clothes for ya. Let me know when you will be coming down again. G
