Nana and Papa gave us a membership to the hands-on children's museum in Northwest Arkansas for Christmas so we started off the month enjoying the first of many visits. It was sooo much fun. There is so much to do and exhibits change so there is always something new.
We spent the following weekend with 3 extra kiddos. We watched a 2 year old, 3 year old, and 10 year old for some friends so they could get away for a night. It was a CRAZY but fun filled two days!
The next big event is a service project our church does every year. We host a dinner and Christmas party for over 300 families with disabled kiddos in our area. The boys love serving every year and this year was no different.
The next weekend, Jeff, the boys, and I attended the Annie Moses Christmas Concert with some friends. It was such an amazing concert and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Next on the agenda was another swim meet. Eli did well. Unfortunately, Thad could not participate due to messing up his hip. He is hoping to be able to resume swimming in January.
Finally, Christmas break arrived. We opened presents as a family before packing up and heading to Illinois to meet up with the rest of Jeff's family. As you will see from the pictures, there was much merriment. Unfortunately, the flu bug bit several members of the family. We came home a day early and from then on it was a down-hill slide. The boys were definitely hit the worst. Both they, and Mama tested positive for Flu type A. Aches, chills, fever, and severe upper-respiratory and sinus junk. We are still fighting this bug. Thankfully, Jeff's case seems to be less severe, the girls haven't had any symptoms except fever, and Jeff is still on Christmas break. Please pray for complete healing.
As a New Year starts, I can't help but wonder what adventures it holds for our family. The wonderful thing is that no matter what the future holds, God is with us and has a plan. Happy New Year!
