What a trooper!

Poor little Kai has had a rough last month. As soon as we got home from Arizona, we started to find spots that ended up being chicken pox. This picture was taken about half way through. He stayed pretty happy other than a day or two when he had trouble eating because of a couple in his mouth. Other than that and being a little extra wiggley :) he was his happy, smiley self! Unfortunately, we had to cancel his lip surgery that was scheduled Dec. 4th because they didn't know for sure if he would be over them by then. We are still waiting for a date - hopefully in Jan. for it to be rescheduled. Our plastic surgeon has switched and is now only at Riley North, not downtown, and they have to find a pedodontist that will come and make him a new mouthpiece and ENT to put in tubes while he is under anesthesia for the surgery. We will let everyone know when we have a date (hopefully soon) so that you can all pray for a safe & smooth surgery!
Then a couple weeks later, he came down with an ear infection and a respiratory virus, RSV. He was on breathing treatments and an antibiotic and thankfully got better after about 10 days.
Big sister Makenna is such a good helper. She loves her little "buddy" and is so sweet with him!

Dora Birthday Fiesta

We celebrated the girls birthday with some friends and family and of course their favorite - Dora the Explorer. The pinata was a big hit, as was the cake and ice cream that had been talked about for weeks! Notice what Makenna's hands were sneaking into. She loves m&m's! We can't believe our little girls are two and three already. What amazing years they've been!!

Preparing for Christmas

What better way to start the Christmas season than sugar cookies, hot chocolate, candy canes, and decorating the tree! What a fun time of year!
