Christmas 2010

It was a great Christmas this year, as we were ALL together. We did have a few lows, but thankfully, the highs far outweighed the lows:
Lows:
- Immediately upon arrival, Keira had to go to the doctor. This was followed by her and Emery alternating having a fever. This meant, keeping the kids sequestered. Not fun for anyone.
- Within days, every.single.person. got sick. The only 2 people spared during the week of Christmas: my boys. I ended up with a sinus infection followed by the flu. Thankfully, that cleared up by Christmas eve. The downside was that I had to travel 5 hours in the car up to Oklahoma with fever/flu. So not cool. Dave spent most of Christmas day in bed. Thankfully, he did have a few good moments so that he could play with the kids, etc...
- The Tracy's are leaving today. :-(

Highs:
- The main high being that by the 27th, everyone was finally healthy!
- All of us got to be together (minus the sick, sequestered days) for over 2 weeks!
- Dave got 10 days off of work, so it was nice having him around!
- Spending time up in Oklahoma
- Meeting baby Mark....(although it was a short visit because he was sick...thankfully, they're coming to Texas on Sunday for a visit.)

Now, a few pics to mark the holiday
