Happy Holidays!

Hi!  I can't believe it is already the second week of Advent.  The season is flying by.  Last week, we celebrated the first week of Advent with cookies, chocolate milk, watching a video animation on the Saviors birth, and reading a few books.  On Tuesday, while the children were at school I decorated the house and realized I didn't have a stocking for Ivy, so with a click of a few buttons that was taken of and it should be here any day.  I am also grateful that I was able to get out Christmas cards out before the children started dropping like flies with various illnesses. Tis the season, but man I wish we could have at least gotten though Christmas before everyone started getting sick. On Monday, Avery stayed home with a cold and fever as did Addy. Tuesday Avery stayed home as she still had a fever, Wednesday everyone went to school, but then Thursday Roman threw up, and Friday Ivy came down with a cold.  I also had the stomach bug but thankfully feel better now though I could use a few more hours of sleep as Ivy was coughing all night long.  Today we are just taking it easy around the house.  Anyway, for months I have been showing you photo shoots that I have taken of other families, but today you get to see the highlights from our family shoot.  The photos were take by Blue Lily Photography.  This is actually our first family shoot since the boys were little!  Happy Holidays! Hope you are enjoying the season!  Do you have any fun activities plan?
