We had a streak of illnesses hit us right before Christmas. :( It started with Savanna and then went to Owen. Luckily Gavin did not get sick but did get a cough from everyone else. When the kids started winter break, we couldn't go anywhere because someone was sick. Then when Christmas came around, Owen was still sick. He was going on 4 or 5 days of having a temperature. Poor kid! He tried to enjoy Christmas eve but wasn't really into making cookies or anything. He just rested on the couch with a sad look on his face.
The rest of us preparing for Santa's arrival:
So sad that he's not feeling good:
We even made special cupcakes and gave one to Santa. The bowl has goodies for the reindeer that Owen made at school. The papers on the wall are letters that the kids received from Santa:
The kids went to bed super excited for what the next day would bring. So of course, they woke up early! Gavin was still asleep so we headed downstairs and started with opening our stockings:
Then we headed over to the tree. It was jam packed with presents everywhere! Savanna and Owen started with their presents from Santa and then proceeded through the rest of them. A huge, huge thank you to everyone that mailed and gave us presents. The kids loved all their presents and are enjoying them very much. 
This was a special present that Savanna made for us at school: 
We spent the rest of Christmas day just relaxing and putting together new toys and having fun playing with them.
