Christmas 2013 is one for the books! We were all so, so sick. And I mean, so sick. Stomach flu sick. Yuck. I’m pretty sure there was only one day the whole time we were there that we all felt ok. Looking back, it’s pretty comical. In the moment, pretty pathetic! 🙂 Regardless, we still managed to squeeze in a few holiday traditions.
^^ Mary & Joseph (not a pregnancy announcement 😉 and new Christmas pjs! ^^

^^ a few of Ellie’s gifts. Temple book, homemade dolls from Aunt Erin, and a homemade ABC book. Her favorite gift not pictured: a bunch of little toy dogs my mom picked up for 25 cents. She loves them and takes them with her everywhere. ^^
^^ We skyped with our favorite missionary! Ahhhhhhhhhh!! ^^
^^Ellie loves her Uncle Zac! ^^
^^ Finally feeling better! ^^
^^Christmas dinner, 4 days after Christmas. We were all too sick to eat on Christmas day.^^
^^ Whew, what a fun, sickly vacation. 🙂
Your family looks so much like you- it's insane!
I'm jealous of Ellie's flexibility. I wish I could bend over like that and eat something off the ground 😉 ….if eating something off the ground wasn't gross haha
Funny, but not funny in the moment. I love the ABC book. What a cute idea! Merry belated Christmas!
Oh! We were in the same boat! Glad you were able to have some wonderful moments dispite the sickness!
such a bummer to be sick over the holidays! but that homemade abc book is amazing. i love it!
Such a cute post. Yes, it's a bit humorous to think about now! I love all of E's gifts! I love the amazing dolls that Erin made for her (seriously, so talented!) and the amazing ABC book you made. Lucky Ellie! We love all of you so much. Thanks for makin' more memories with us!! xoxoxoxox
I love the homemade gifts from such a talented family. Even if you were sick at least you had each other. Everyone does look a little on the pale side…..
