Getting excited for Christmas

Ty and Aidan are trying to get over this horrible sickness. We have mentholatum pumping through the vents (wish that was possible) Ty is doing much better, he has been fever free since Thursday. We had to take Aidan into see the doctor, no fever but she had developed a horrible cough and not eating. I've been getting creative with food choices, but she is mainly sticking with fruit. She has developed bronchitis like symptoms so is now on antibiotics. It's been a lot of rough nights of not sleeping well, and during the day she just wants mommy to hold her. We are hoping our sweet baby begins to get better soon. We haven't been out of the house much, Ty is starting to go crazy. He asked me the other day if we could go somewhere. We had rescheduled an ornament painting party from last weekend to this past Friday night. I make these cinnamon ornaments and Ty had a blast with all his friends here to hang out eating some fresh homemade gingerbread cookies (I made my mom's cookies and they came out wonderful) peppermint hot chocolate, and the traditional christmas wreath from my mother-in-law's recipes. On Saturday we had Aidan's 3rd b-day celebration here at our house with her two little girl friends all turing 1 in December. She managed to have a little fun, poor little girl with her running nose. She didn't dig into her cake this time like she did at her other parties. We are hoping that we can recover quickly and get out to enjoy some of my most favorite time of the year. I think it's quickly becoming Ty's favorite time of the year too.
