Christmas Eve

The kids have been so excited for Christmas.  They've been adding "eves" to the last several days.  "It's Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve!"  

Then Sunday evening, Taylor got sick.  James had been sick for the last week almost, with fever, aches, cough and sore throat.

Now Logan this morning.  On Christmas Eve, of all days.  He just lays on the couch and he's taken 2 naps today.  Soooooooooo not like him.  And I've got a sore throat and am trying not to cough.   

 So I've got a fire going and I'm just relaxing.  I was looking through some of our old Christmas pictures.  

Just 6 years ago, our Christmas looked like this......

Logan was 3 & 1/2  and Taylor was just over a year old! 

We had Christmas at Nana & Papa's house. 

Logan got a train, which he still has. 

Taylor got a doll, with those eyelids that close when you lay the baby down.  She was fascinated by them.  


And 5 short years ago, Christmas looked like this...

and this...

 Christmas at home.

Logan was 4 & 1/2 and into pirates.

Taylor was barely 2 and already into princesses.  

Christmas also looked like this...

A very large branch from our tree came down on our car.   (Okay, I can't remember if this was before Christmas or after it).

Thank goodness for the bike rack though.  It saved our roof.  We took the whole tree down after this.  I never liked that tree anyway.  It left little orange "berries" all over our walkway.  

It's fun to look back at old pictures.  The kids were so small and cute.  They're still cute, just not so small. 

We have no idea where we're going to be next year for Christmas.  Hopefully we'll be in our home somewhere and Nana & Papa will be there too.  (Unless Elizabeth has already claimed them.  I may just have to fight her for them).  ;)

 

Have a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends!  Take lots of pictures of your little ones.  They grow up so fast.
