Our December unfortunately has been a month of illness in our house. We started the month off with a series of 24hr stomach flus, after it went through all of us, we started a round of colds which seems to keep persisting through the month. We were very excited to go to a birthday party that we had to cancel because of the colds.
The following weekend we had a work Christmas party planned that we were excited about, Santa would even be there. We had to cancel that because the roads were too bad to drive on due to weather. We were beginning to think that we weren't going to ever go anywhere again. We did however, get our christmas tree this weekend, which is always fun. Sydney was involved with the decision.
But, it was all up to Rich to cut it down.
The tree cutting experience was quite an effort for Sydney.
After her long nap she did have enough energy to help us put the tree up.
Sydney went to bed and we finished decorating, the next day she had to inspect the tree.
Sydney tried on her new snowpants and loved them so much that she didn't want to take them off.
The weekend before Christmas was another weekend filled with celebrations. Rich and I enjoyed the company of all our friends at Dave and May Russell's holiday party (where I finally got to give Maya her birthday gift from the party we missed), thanks to Papa and Grandma for coming out to our house to watch Sydney for the evening. The following day, we were lucky enough to host the Borrusch cousins christmas. The house was full of children and we got to cook for all our family. It was very exciting to break our new house in like that. All the kids seemed to love their gifts and we are very grateful to have the family that we do.
