December Joys

This post will be a bit scattered but we were able to spend a lot of time as a family this month. Danny has the whole month off before the next semester starts in January and the kids and I have really enjoyed having him at home with us.

Aquarium (12.11.17)

Ward Christmas Breakfast (12.16.17)

First visit with Santa this season and Hudson was not a fan.

Provo Riverwoods Lights (12.19.17)

Danny had interviews with both the bishop and the stake president this night for his BYU grad school application so I took both kids and met Jill, Mike and Georgia at the Riverwoods where we saw lights, rode a train and saw Santa again. Hudson met Santa Clause again and was still not a fan.

Sickness (12.21.17)

There's been a horrible sickness going around and Hudson got it. Poor kid. There was a lot of puking going around and we really hope it doesn't spread to others in our family.

Spanish Fork Lights (12.29.17)

I'm not sure how much Hudson was able to see from his car seat but Addie was in heaven! This is our second year coming to this and one we plan to continue as long as we live near here. The videos below are purely so I can remember the excitement in Addie's cute little voice.

Surgery Update

(Copied from family blog)

Two months ago Hudson saw an eye specialist for his tear ducts and we were given two options.

1) Wait until he turned one to put him under for surgery on both eyes.

2) Hold him down in the office and have doctor do the procedure with him awake.

We waited. Today I took him in for his followup where we would schedule his surgery and it turns out that waiting was the best decision because his issues are all gone! I'm so happy on this day with this sweetest little man!

Now I'm hoping that the same thing happens for his umbilical hernia. Hopefully time is what he'll need for that to fix itself. His doctor says that we'll need to get that checked when he turns two and if he still has it we'll look into getting a procedure done for that. :( Fingers crossed that another miracle will happen but until then I'm going to be thankful for the miracle we've already been given today.

Christmas 2017

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning at church. Danny sang in the choir so we showed up early for his practice.

Christmas Morning

Grandma Ferguson's House/ Mission Call With Jaina

Classic Skating With All The Fergusons

We spent quite a bit of time at Classic Skating before heading back home to let the kids play with their toys before calling it a night. Both kids were exhausted by the time it was time to sleep which made it really nice for Danny and I. I would definitely say it was a really nice Christmas season.
