Well, I believe it's about time to bring you up to speed on our Holiday. We really had a great season and we had a lot of fun but I do have to admit it's nice to finally take a breath and not have to worry about anything I need to get done. Although, Christmas this year was the best I've had in longer then I can remember. It's amazing how having children can do that. I also want to mention that there are hardly any pics of Scott. Poor guy, when you're the photographer you kinda get left out. He's been there for everything, just on the other end of the camera. Thanks babe for taking the pics! Here we go:
Here's my little man sportn' his winter gear!

and his even cooler and personalized table and chairs from Grandma and Grandpa Sanderson.


We made a trip to Midway to check out the ice castles. They were pretty cool.

Awesome celebrated his first birthday at the end of December. We had such a wonderful turn out for his birthday. Singing Happy Birthday was a shock to Awesome. He wasn't quite sure why everyone was singing to him. Then, he had a candle shoved in his face. I'm sure by the look on his face he was thinking, "what the heck, first they sing and now a candle, what do I do with this?"
so to deal with all the pressure he just cried...

Until mom let him eat some cake. I'm sure he was thinking, "oh sure, now I'm allowed to eat a whole load of sugar...I don't know what to do!"


What you see above is all he really ate. No prob. We'll go clean you up for presents and games. (wow, I look a little too excited)
He liked the Pumpkin cake though...
and loved all his cool birthday gifts...
and playing with the all balloons

Awesome went to bed that night around 9:00. He was doing well, just getting over a cold. At 11:30 we heard him cough pretty hard. We ran into his room and there he was sitting in a ton of mucas and barely breathing. We were scared to death. This was the first time ever Awesome had been sick. It was a shock to have this come on so suddenly. I blamed the Birthday cake. After a blessing from Scott and some bundling up we made our way to the ER where we spent the next 4-5 hours. I had a feeling it might be croup and while we were there it was confirmed. Poor guy. He was a trooper though. What a way to end your first Birthday.

Awesome did so well. He never cried, he growled a lot at the nurses (he likes to growl) and said "ah oh" alot after throwing his plug (pacifier)

Awesome is finally getting over his nasty cold. He still belts out a brutle cough here and there but he's still as happy and spunky as ever. We enjoyed New Years eve with friends and enjoyed spending time off with friends and family. We hope you all enjoyed your holiday's and hope 2010 brings you joy and happiness!
