Second, Third, and Fourth Christmas Celebrations

I have updated the "First Christmas Celebration" post. Click on the title to see pictures that are full-sized!

Our 2nd celebration was supposed to be getting together with my dad's side of the family on December 21, but Caedyn and Eli were sick. So we all stayed home.

The 3rd event was the next night, Monday the 22nd. Everyone seemed to feel much better, so we went to Gary's parents' house to have Christmas with his mom's family. The pics are too cute of the 5 great-grands. Gary's grandma would've eaten those children up! Madison, Mark, and Caedyn loved playing under the tree!


By Wednesday, Christmas Eve, Gary and I were sick with strep throat. So we missed Christmas with Gary's dad's family and my parents' annual Christmas Eve Pancakes! But we were able to get to the doctor and get some antibiotics so that we could enjoy Christmas Day!

Hey Melissa, I LOVE the new look of your blog! I'm not sure when you changed it, since I haven't been around since early December. I tried clicking on the link at the top of the page for "The Cutest Blog On The Block" (or whatever it was) page, but the link could not be found. Then when I tried later the link wasn't even there. It was just a square with a red X. Any advice?

HUGS!

btw: sorry to leave this as a comment, but my email account is being finicky.

Nevermind, I figured it out. Their site IS down. I guess they somehow redirected the link to go to their blog. They are asking for everyone to donate $1 to help them purchase a new server that can handle the ammount of traffic they receive. I gave them a buck. Your blog is just too cute not to. ;)

HUGS!

Hey girl! Where are YOU, now. I sent you an email a couple weeks ago about meeting up at the Biltmore. Did you get it? My main email account has been giving me serious issues. If you got my email, please respond. If you didn't, please leave a comment on my blog and I'll be sure to get in touch with you again. Hope things are going well. Take care, and God bless!

HUGS!
