Merry Christmas!

The boys are much better! Eli went to the dr on Tuesday and we discovered a double ear infection. He got some antibiotics (which i don't normally like giving them, but make an exception when it's the ears). On the way home, Titus complained of his ear hurting. He'd had congestion for a little while. By mid afternoon, he was screaming in pain, so after picking up Eli's prescription, we headed over to the CVS minute clinic and had him checked. Sure enough, he had an ear infection too. So, we got him the same meds as his baby bro and they are both now on the way to recovery! It made for a much nicer holiday, that's for sure. Poor babies, i just hate seeing them in that kind of pain. Titus was almost delirious with fever that night. Each time he looked at me, his eyes would cross. Then he was talking to me and in mid sentence looked at me and said "what"? It was hilarious. He slept it off and woke up the next day much better! Below you will see our leaf raking efforts. After raking seven or eight bags worth, the boys took a ride in the wheel barrel sleigh!

Christmas eve tradition is that every one gets to open one gift and it's always new pj's. So, here they are, all ready to snuggle up and go to sleep. The big boys all went to bed about 9:30, but Eli had a nap and wasn't quite tired enough. So, below, you will see what he did after hanging out with us in the kitchen until 11.

Merry Christmas everyone, family, friends... we love you all!!
