Madelyn getting ear tubes

Madelyn got tubes in her ears today. She has been having trouble with her speech and the way she was pronouncing some words. So I took her and had her hearing tested and she did not pass the hearing test. So we went to see Dr. Boyd and he scheduled us right away to put tubes in. I am praying that it is just what she needs to feel better, be healthier, and starting hearing better! She did great. She was wanting to take her hospital bracelet off right away. She didn't even cry the whole time until we were leaving and we passed the cafeteria and she was screaming "Eat!" all the way to the car.
Smiling before the surgery. She like the tiger gown and playing in the bed. She was even jumping on the bed at first. She had no idea what she was in store for yet.
She took some syrup that made her really sleepy. It was so funny to watch her rolling around in the bed trying to fight off getting sleepy.

Christmas 2010

This is everyone at mom and dad's house on Christmas day. We had a lot of fun celebrating with Papa and Nana and all the cousins.
This is Brian's family on Christmas Eve in Westville. It was our first Christmas with Clay and Natalie married, and of course it is always so much fun to get Kainan and Madelyn together. They are only 2 days apart! We can't wait for the next new cousin to be with us next Christmas.
We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Bryson made his reindeer shirt at school in first grade which he was excited to wear. The face is his footprint and the antlers are his hands.
Madelyn loved her new babydoll and babydoll stroller. She kept saying, "baby" over and over again and hugging and kissing the baby. Then it wasn't 10 minutes after she played with the stroller that she herself was in it and stuck.
The kids got to see Santa on Christmas Eve. Bryson loves to see him every year, but Madelyn was not so sure about him this year. This is the only picture I have of her where she is not screaming and crying. I think she was only ok because her bubba was with her for this one.

Poor Bryson

Bryson was playing on the playground at school when he slipped and fell off the playground onto the wood chips - on his face! It looks horrible, and I felt terrible for him. It breaks my heart when my kids are hurt and there isn't a thing I can do but hold them until they feel better. He tried so hard to not cry too, but the poor thing couldn't help it. Trust me, the picture doesn't even do it justice either, it really looks bad in person. It broke my heart :( Then he gets embarassed because every single person that saw him today gasped and asks what happened when they saw him and he is so self-conscious about it that that didn't help either.


His face already looks better here, this is day 3 sporting the massive bruised face. I just hope it doesn't scar, poor thing. We keep calling him Rambo and he thinks that's kinda funny now. I told him to tell everyone that asks him about it, "you should see the other guy."
