Holidays have come and gone

Hey everyone! Sorry for the blog break but you know how it is with the holiday season. Plus, we've been a VERY sick household AGAIN! It's honestly ridiculous! Hadley got croup AGAIN. That cough is honestly just horrendous! She popped up in bed on Christmas day night (around 1 am) and coughed ONCE and I instantly knew it was croup. What that means is a full week, if not more of Hadley sleeping with us (because she coughs so much she can't sleep by herself), endless humidifiers and diffusers, cough medicines, and awfulness! This time we didn't need to go to the doctor thankfully she seems to be past most of it. We are staying with my sister's family right now and EVERYONE got a form of this cold/sickness. Max got the cold/cough but never turned into croupy thing PLUS pink eye! Mom, Jen, David, James, and myself all got a horrendous headcold/never ending cough. James went to doctor yesterday and had a throat infection plus an ear infection. We thought coco bean had been spared but she got the pink eye PLUS a double ear infection! We really took precautions of cleaning the house thoroughly and door knobs all that jazz.... obviously with no luck. So I guess it was too late! Sharing spaces like this with a lot of people I guess is a recipe for outrageous sickness. One more thing about this stupid sickness season, it's not a quick thing. We're going on almost 2 weeks!

We had a great christmas though! Luckily everyone was healthy, for that part of the day. We did have to cancel family plans for the next day though. My sister had her annual christmas cookie party exchange prior to christmas. It was fabulous! Take a look at her blog for the latest on that. She also did a great christmas blog post if you want pictures from her real camera. We did a lot of holiday things, saw disney characters, rode pink pigs, bears, and horses (all fake), saw a concert, and lots of other fun things.

Hadley was all dressed up in every outfit she got for dress up all at once haha

even Bella loved her gift, she loves a little nip

cute christmas kiddos who love coco

Hadley got the cutest HUGEST bow from her auntie Jen, plus my mom made a scarf last year that seemed to be perfect for Hadley, She really does look like a totally different kid with her hair pulled back.

James has drill weekend for the guard coming up and we'll be joining him! (hadley and me that is) We rented an apartment downtown for a great rate (the manager lady gave us basically a 2 night stay free for a military/last minute discount). James will be busy most of the days but we have a couple friends there we will visit, plus we'll explore some on our own! I wish we could be super rich and afford a home in Savannah too (we could do a vacation rental ourselves!) something to think about! maybe one day.
