The worst part of being a parent is when your child gets sick. The even worse part is when it happens over Christmas. Poor Lillia got sick on Christmas Eve, during our Paxson family get together. We weren't opening gifts that night, just having supper and playing games. But still, it's not fun when your baby gets sick and there's a houseful of people. However, she seemed to be feeling better by morning, and we opened our gifts and the ones that Santa left. The girls had so much fun opening gifts and playing with them right away, we had to keep reminding them that there were more to open! We were up until the wee hours of the morning putting together the big gift for Lillia. It took 5 adults and almost 2 hours! Granted, one was reading directions, one was putting the main piece together and 3 were putting together the accessories. Here's what it looked like when we opened the box.
Even Bo & Dakota got it on the Christmas morning fun. They could smell something in their stockings, but couldn't quite reach them! They were very patient too!
Here are a few pics of the girls enjoying their gifts.
And the big gift that took forever to put together. Note Kenzie's excitement over Lillia's present!!
And Kenzie's Santa gift - she was very excited too!
After opening gifts at our house, we headed over my Nanny's for another Christmas. Lots of food, people and gifts. Then poor Kenzie get hit by the flu bug. All afternoon she was acting pretty yucky, but then once she actually got sick, she said she felt so much better! But we came home, and Mommy & Kenzie took a nice long nap. Hopefully they are over the yucks and can enjoy the last 2 Christmas celebrations we have this week!
