My Birthday and Christmas

Well, to say the least, we have been busy. It has been a solid 2 weeks of fun, family, celebrating and sickness.

On December 22 we started our day by finding out Santa came to our house early. I had lots of presents under the tree and got to open them that morning.

After that we packed up the car and headed to Kalahari. Mommy's whole family was there. It was so cool. We got to swim and slide and spend time together. We spent the night there, and did it all again the next day. When it was time to leave we headed down to Cincinnati to see Daddy's family.

On December 24th, my birthday, we had a party at Nana's house. It was so fun to see my family and friends that I don't see very often. We had yummy cake and presents. That night we went to church and out to dinner. It was a late night, but I wanted my birthday to last as long as possible...so I stayed awake until about 12:15!
The next day was Christmas! Daddy's whole family came to Nana's and we had tons of food, fun, and MORE PRESENTS! It was crazy!

We had to leave the next day to go home. We got home just in time to go to bed and start the celebrating all over again.

On December 27th we went to Grandma and Papa's house for another Christmas!!! All of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and even Grandmama were there. We had more food, more fun and again MORE PRESENTS! Most of my cousins took naps, but not me, I wasn't giving up...there was way too much fun to be had!

December 28th was supposed to be our final day of celebrating. We were supposed to celebrate my birthday in Michigan. But, we ended up canceling. We woke up to no power! Plus, I had a fever and even threw up on Daddy. We ended up going to Grandma and Papa's house again and celebrated with the family. Their power was out to, but Papa has a generator so we had some light and got to see the Lions make their Owin 16 season official.

All this fun has been exhausting! At some point most of the family has been sick. I ended up with it last and just finally go over it! I have posted a slideshow of our Christmas Celebrations and a scrapbook of my Birthday. I will add more pictures soon. I hope you are all healthy and happy enjoying the new year.
