Christmas adventures

Yes, we survived our annual Christmas trip to Utah. It started out less-than-enjoyable with a violent case of stomach flu. The night before we were supposed to leave, Evan woke up at 10pm throwing up and threw up every 20 minutes until four in the morning. It hit Mark and I in the night as well, and Andrew the next day. We sent Conner over to Grandma's house in the hopes that he might not get it, but he did and so we left two days later than planned. Andrew kept throwing up for about 10 days and it turned out that he had pneumonia, bronchitis and an ear infection. Conner and Evan also got ear infections, so we pretty much all had a course of antibiotics before the trip was over. The kids did have a lot of fun on Christmas, of course, and really enjoyed staying at Grandma and Grandpa Bigler's.

The light sabers were a big hit!

Andrew throwing the classic tantrum. How do kids know how to do this? I think they're born with it.....

Evan's newest thing is pretending to be a dog, and sometimes he asks for "a drink of water like doggies". The other two have to join in on the fun, of course!

This is a sight you'll see at my house most every day. What is a girl going to do??
