A White, Hot Christmas

Sorry for the long neglect of the ol' blog here! We have been super busy with the holidays and the illness running through our house. This year the STL had a white Christmas which I can not remember the last time it actually snowed on Christmas day. It was pretty cool but Ava didn't really quite get it. That had to do with the hot part of our Christmas. Ava came down with a fever on Wednesday the 23rd and had one on and off until Sunday the 27th. Needless to say she was not her chipper self throughout all of our Christmas festivities. We had to cancel a bunch of family plans and ended up having immediate family over to our house on Christmas Eve and Day. We didn't want to expose the extended family to our sickness but you know Grandmas and Grandpas still want to see the little one for the holiday. Steve and I both ended up catching what Ava had but no fever. Steve and I are on the mend but Ava now has tonsillitis and an ear infection. The poor kid just can't catch a break! I hope you all had a very blessed and happy Christmas and New Year with your families.

On a side note, the red and green outfit was a daddy pick...I'm just saying.
