Christmas 2007

Well, we did manage to get our tree decorated, despite the flu that took over our home. I think it was decorated for 8-9 days and then we took the decorations off the day after Christmas because the tree was so dry. Paxton loved the "balls" on the tree and was constantly asking for them. And Kaybri would go up to the tree and point to the lights and say "hot, don't touch it".






Paxton started feeling better and was back to eating a lot of food about 5 days after he got sick with the flu. He even managed to climb up into the chair and finish Kaybri's breakfast one morning. However, by the end of the week he was sick again, running a high fever; I think because he was cutting his bottom molars. Anyway, I missed church....again. Kaybri and Justin did make it though; she looked so pretty.





My parents drove up to Utah and got here on the 23rd. We got to keep them here for a whole week!! Justin's mom, dad, and brother were also planning on coming here for Christmas Eve/Day. Those plans changed a little bit when Britni (Justin's sister) went into labor Christmas Eve, so his mom didn't make it here. But, we got a new little niece for Christmas! Congratulations guys!!

We were just about to do our Christmas Eve tradition of reading about the birth of our Savior and opening up one present (Christmas jammies), when Kaybri had a seizure. She had been doing so good; we were a little surprised. She had gone 10 days without any, so we thought she'd probably make it through Christmas. We had to give her diastat to come out of it, so she was knocked out for the rest of the evening.



BEDTIME!! Paxton now lets us know when it's past his bedtime by asking over and over for his "ba ba".

POKER TIME!! The boys have a tradition of playing poker when they all get together.

Kaybri woke up early the next morning and was still out of it and very irritable for the majority of Christmas. The smallest thing would set her off and through her into tears. I did manage to get a few pictures of her with smiles though. Kaybri opened up a couple of presents, but we opened up a lot of them for her because she would throw a fit if we tried to get her to open any. On the other hand, Paxton was full of grins and giggles. He loved opening his presents (and hated sitting still for pictures)! They both got lots of toys and clothes; they're two very loved/spoiled kids! (Sorry for posting so many pictures, I have a hard time making decisions!)

The kids had a lot of fun playing with Grammie and Papa. Thanks for coming to stay with us! Kaybri kept asking/looking for them for several days after they left! And Paxton learned how to say "papa"; we're still working on "grammie".

Several days after Christmas, the kids got a couple more presents. This time Kaybri was very into unwrapping the her present. I guess we should have waited a few days to let Kaybri open all her presents when she felt better.

Paxton HATES to sit still for pictures!

It was so funny to watch Paxton and her. She did not want Paxton to come near her while she was tearing off the paper. You can see in the picture that she's holding onto his arm, while she's unwrapping with the other!

Pax is a big boy now though, and can hold his own!!!
