It's the most wonderful time of the year...

...even when you're sick!

Kyler managed to have a pretty good Christmas even thought he was very sick. He started with a fever on Christmas eve that continued between 103 and 105 degrees for 5 days. We paged the doctor on Christmas eve (I'm sure he loved that) and took him in on Wednesday to find out he had RSV bronchiolitis. Apparently, this can be quite serious in little guys and they sometimes need hospitalized. Fortunately, Kyler got through it okay, but pretty much slept the week away: 14 hours at night and a 5 hour nap. By the end of the week, he started to dig his new presents.

So sick...

but still able to eat pie.


Kyler got a whole new playroom in the basement.







Dada got a playroom too.

Santa Claus is coming to town

Kyler got to see Santa again this past weekend. He went on the Santa train with Grandma and Grandpop



Still won't sit on his lap. Only next to him. Maybe next year.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

We had such an exciting day on Saturday. It started out with breakfast with Santa.


Then we went to the tree farm and took a train ride out to the trees.

Laying one on Mama. We kind of created a monster with the kissing thing and now he's a smooching machine. Which is especially nice when he has a runny nose and is drooling from teething.

Now which one do we choose. After about 30 minutes out there, they all start to look the same.
Carefully supervising Dada cut down the tree.

So proud of his work. Is that saw baby proofed?

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Kyler enjoying the first snow of the year. He was a little freaked out at first but then really liked it. Who knows, maybe it was because I kept throwing snowballs at him.



Warm inside, enjoying Mama's homemade veggie chili. As you can see, the self feeding skills are "improving".


Getting out the Christmas decorations.
