Best of the Holidays 2008- The In-laws

december 21st we had christmas at the in-laws. this was day 2 of sprout's awful illness but he wasn't showing any signs of discomfort when we headed out to open presents.

the smile behind the pacifier.


both kids headed straight for the tree. sprout grabbed whatever he could. bean actually looked for things with her name on them.

the gifts went all the way behind the tree to the wall and all the way up to that tv. 90% of them were for my kids- the only kids in the family.


Sprout only made it through his stocking and 2 gifts before he crashed and burned.

poor sick little man


bean LOVES opening presents. she really wanted to open everyone's presents- because they needed help, don't you know. this is the way bean opens gifts...

unwrapping with flare

bean loved all of her gifts- the whole mountain of them. she got cute clothes, books, toys, craft supplies- everything you can imagine.

so that was our first christmas of this year. i opened sprout's gifts because he was too sick to be care- or even be awake for most of it. bean never even got a bit sick and enjoyed every second and was terribly disappointed when it was over.
i'm fairly certain that we will not be invited back next year if we have even the slightest hint of illness. (seems sprout spread his disease to 4 other people over the weekend. oops!)

I'm glad Bean never got sick, but I hate that poor Sprout had the icks for his first ever Christmas. That's just not fair! Good thing he won't remember any of it. :)

It will go down in family history as the Christmas of sickness but it will fade from memory as lots f other lovely Christmases replace it :-) Glad it didn't slow Bean down at all.
