Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning! Even though Andrew has a smile on his face in several of these pictures, this poor boy had the stomach bug. :( When he came into our room around 6 am, crawled into bed with us and said nothing about Christmas or Santa, we knew it seemed strange. Well, a few minutes later, we figured out why... stomach bug... yuck!!

He perked up just enough to look at gifts, but I think the only smiles on his face were the ones that he graciously gave me as I took pictures. He did not feel good at all!!

Waiting to go look at what Santa brought!

A new trumpet for Andrew!
Buzz Lightyear for Forrest!
A baby for Ann Evelyn! She walked around all morning holding her and saying "Baby". I love my sweet Baby Girl!!
Andrew's guitar
He and Daddy played a little...
then Andrew finally gave in to the way he felt and just wanted to be held. How sad for us all to see him sick on Christmas morning!
Forrest got a guitar, too!
Sissy loved her tea set
Forrest enjoyed playing with his new toys for a little while, but he, too, got sick. :(
The boys found a spot on the couch and this is about where they stayed the rest of the day.

It was a memorable Christmas day but certainly not fun and not the kind we would want to have again. Because of our sickness, we didn't get to see any of our family on Christmas Day, and we really missed not being able to visit with everyone.

But, the one positive thing about a stomach bug is that it is short! The next morning there was...
game playing,

wrestling :),


and smiles!! Yay!!

We even bundled up to see some snow flurries! :)
