A Sickly New Year's

For the first time since Bradley and I have been married, we have had to cancel our annual New Year's Eve/Bradley's Birthday party. The sickness level at our house was too high for us to even think about pulling together a party. We were a mess. At one point, we were all 4 on antibiotics. All in all, since a couple of days before Christmas we have had 4 eyes infected with pink eye, 2 double ear infections, one sinus infection headed into bronchitis, one completely clogged sinus cavity, 5 trips to the doctor, 1 chest xray, 1 stomach virus, and no partridge in a pear tree. It has been a rough go round lately. I am feeling like we are all on the mend here at our house and we are hoping Nana and Pop are on the mend there at their house!

So, here is our low key New Year's Eve. We didn't even stay up as a family until midnight. We counted down with New York at 11.... :(

Christmas with Grammy and Gramps

Christmas Morning

As you can see from the pictures, Christmas morning involved a bunch of puny Rogers. Harrison was feeling yucky, Ava was so-so, I was feeling bleh, and Bradley was feeling YUCKO! I got up at 5 in the morning when I felt a massive fever blister popping up, but we ended up being so rushed because with Bradley being sick, we delayed opening gifts and doing Santa packages until pretty late in the morning. This just doesn't work with our schedule of needing to be in KY by noon for my Mammaw's Christmas dinner. We did make it, but we didn't get to spend near as much time enjoying each other and playing with new toys and relaxing. Harrison was super clingy so I didn't even get any good shots of him opening gifts. But, I love the ones I do have and thank God for my beautiful family and our Christmas memories, whatever they may be...

How dare you set me down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harrison liked these more than anything. He used them as walking sticks....
