Thanksgiving & Christmas 2008

Once again it has been too long since my last blog entry.  I blame it all on my new Facebook addiction, that my hubby got me started on.  I may scrap the blog site and just go to FB  alltogether rather than keep up two separate sites We'll see.  In any case...here is what we were up to during the holidays.  We had an awesome Thanksgiving with Jeff's family is Surprise, AZ.  His mom, dad, sister's Shauna and Noelle and their families all came.  Liam had a great time with his 5 cousins and spent a lot of time with his 2 1/2 yr. old cousin Hudson who got a cold while we were there.  The day after we got back home, Liam came down with the cold too, but his turned into RSV, which is a respiratory virus that can be very dangerous to babies.  His rapid breathing sent us to the  emergency room twice in one week.  The second time, they decided to admit him for observation and some oxygen/steroid treatments that seemed to do the trick.  After 8 days of deep coughing,  heavy breathing,  congestion, runny nose, high fevers and breathing treatments,  he was pretty much done with it.  Jeff, however, who came down with it the day after Liam, had it about 2 weeks, then I got it the day after Liam was getting better and had it for about 3 weeks.  It was definatly the worst cold that Jeff and I have ever had.  About a week before Christmas we were both doing much better, though I had a sore throat for a good month.  Christmas day was really fun.  Liam had such a great time with the family and  gifts and even took a 2 1/2 hour nap at grandmas while me, my sister Julie, my neice Kira and my mom all played the Wii American Idol karoke.  It was a blast.  The boys played some other computer games.   Too much fun.  I want a Wii now too:)   We finally got to Disneyland to see the holiday lights and decor on January 4th which was awesome, but probably the busiest day I have ever seen at D-land, but once we got in, we all had a great time.  Here are some of my favorite pics from the last 2 months of 08.
