We were sick over Christmas... every year I think someone is sick. But we made the best of it. This is how I found Brooklyn during the day, trying to sleep off her sickness in her cuddly sleeping bag she got from Aunt Candace and April (they got to open this present the night before because all the kids slept by the tree while Aunt Candace and April watched them)... they loved that.

The kids coloring away the afternoon while I made rolls, cheesy potatoes, broccoli salad and ham for our annual candle-light dinner!
As was tradition when Cory was a child each of the boys seat the girls but pushing in their chair
The kids loved the flameless candles and illuminating everything on their plates with them.
After dinner we headed over to our church building and had our Christmas program with Cory's sister Mindy and her family and Mother-in-law. They were sick too so we made great company together ;-)

Merry Christmas...
The highlight for me was Brookyn and Rigdon's spontaneous duet of "I am a Child of God" it was really cute! After our program we had pretzels, angel food cake, bananas, marshmallows, and cinnamon bears all dipped in chocolate. It was super yummy!
We finished off the night at home new pj's and setting our our stockings. This year Santa got homemade chocolate candy.
