Christmas Morning!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Oh my goodness was it fun with Dane. He was super intrigued by the paper, ribbons, and boxes. We had a very good time and are looking forward to this afternoon when Mom and Perry are going to join us for dinner. I will take more pictures this evening, but here are some from our morning.
We miss all of our other family who isn't here with us... But, you are all in our thoughts!
Our little family in front of our huge tree! (can you see it there behind me???)

Playing with a book from Aunt Jeannette

Just playing!
I'm helping him unwrap a present from Eric and Sondra!

Clint took tomorrow off so we are going to head up to the cabin for a couple nights. We are going to try ice fishing some of the lakes up there... The weather is supposed to be a little more mild than it has been recently, and we are excited to get out!
Oh yeah and poor Dane. Although he had a great morning, he is a little sick. He caught the cold that just wont quit (We're shocked because he never catches anything!) First, it caused an ear infection, then an awful rash that covered his whole body, and now croup! Right now he has a terrible sounding cough that is definitely worse at night, but is calmed by cold air. Yes, there is one benefit to living in a cold climate. (however I am told that a nebulizer does well if you don't have readily available cold air!) I was thinking that if we ever have another kid I am going to be so skilled at identifying baby sickness, I'll be like "it's okay, that's just a viral rash, or an ear infection, or croup... Dane had those... and more!!!" We are very lucky though because these are all fairly minor illnesses and they pass rather quickly. Hopefully before too long he will have an immune system of steel!!!
