Hailey's surgery

This will hopefully be the last update on Hailey's ears. We were supposed to have her surgery on December 30th but we got to the hospital and she had a really bad cough so they were not able to do the surgery. We were a little sad becuase that meant that we would have to pay our deductible again, but it is better for her to be health and safe. We ended up having her surgery on Jan. 13th. Everything went very well and she now has her 4th set of tubes and they also removed her adnoids, so hopefully this will solve her problems. She has been doing great and her recovery was very fast.

Better Late than Never!

So I am finally getting around to posting about Christmas. I know that it was more than a month ago, but better late than never!

Here are the girls dressed up in their Christmas dresses.






For Christmas we drove down to California to spend Christmas with Nate's family. This was the first Christmas in the past 6 years that we were able to spend with Nate's family. We were all very excited to go. While we were there we celebrated our 8th anniversary, and were able to go out for dinner since we had a lot of babysitters. We had a great Christmas and had fun decorating stockings, acting out the nativity, hand dipping spoons and pretzels, having the 1st annual polar bear swim, going to In-N-Out, and spending a lot of time with family.







While I was there I also started to read the Twilight book series. This is probably the best reason while my christmas post is so late. I couldn't stop until I read all 4 books, which I finally finished last week and then I was getting my house put back together.
