Christmas Eve Morning at my Sister'sChristmas Eve at Joe's Uncle's (7 kids 3 and under!)Christmas Morning our house 6am before Joe leaves for work.Christmas Day relaxing, playing with toys The 26th (Christmas at our house) Aiden got the "Red Mack" he's been talking about since July. While all the Christmas fun was going on, my boys were slowly catching a cold. Aiden was struggling to even talk today and had to take a breath every 3rd word so I called the advice nurse and after deciding he wasn't getting enough oxygen from his blue lips ( I hadn't noticed because of his binky), we headed for the E.R. They got us right in and after 4 rounds of Albuterol, chest ex-rays and a take home inhaler, we were on our way home. He's doing ok. Still wheezing, so we'll be laying low the next few days.

We took Drew in to see the allergist regarding his aversion to eggs. They ran a blood test to see the severity of his allergy and said they will repeat every 2 years to see if it decreases and once it reaches a certain level we can try and re-introduce eggs. Aiden will have to undergo the same test next month. So in the mean time, we were sent home with the "Epi-Pen Jr." and are praying we never have to use it. I got his test results today and he rated a 3 out of 5 on the severity of his allergy so now I just have to wait to hear from the Dr. to see what exactly that means. But, as you can see, he is enjoying Oreos and doesn't seem to be missing out on the cookies and cake.

Anyone wondering about the family "Goose?" Don't worry he's being well taken care of and donning his Christmas apparel on our front porch. I hate to let him go this New Year's, but I will make sure to send him with his trousseau of holiday attire.

MFD Christmas Party
We went to Joe's work for a Christmas party last weekend and the boys had a blast. Aiden got paint ornaments, jump in the bounce house, and climb on the firetruck. He wasn't that thrilled with Santa, but he did bring Aiden the flashlight he's been wanting. Drew enjoyed the food, also climbing in the firetruck and pushing a chair around the whole parking bay.
