hmphhh.

I really haven't the energy to update about our life the past few weeks. It was mainly spent sick. The Texas Christensens came for Christmas break, the Rigby Christensens came, and the Clarkston Petersons came. And one by one everyone started to come down with a sickness or 2. Some people got sick for a few hours, some for a day, and some (the lucky ones) got sick for 5 days. Ephraim and myself were included in the 5 day death disease.

The kind where you are throwing up (and down) every 30 minutes. 

The kind where you watch episodes of Downton Abby between pukes. 

The kind where you end up in the hospital getting fluids pumped in you because you are dehydrated and have the worst kidney pain in all the land. Dan and my mom really took care of me. They must love me. 

Somehow Stori never got sick, luckily. She just played with her cousins, her toys, and Tangled 24/7. She seriously loves her cousins! 

Some Holiday Highlights

-Les Miserables!!!!! Holy cow amazing. like cry-the-whole-way-through-amazing.

-Dan putting together his model plane I got him

-Watching Stori open presents that she instantly loved.

    -I have to share this story so I don't forget. When she saw that Santa had brought her a pink baby stroller, she RAN to it immediately. She pushed it across the room with so much joy. Stopped, abandoned the stroller, and then ran to give me a huge hug. Then when the hug was over, she ran back to her stroller and continued to play with it. It was the sweetest thing.

-Ringing in the New Year sick but in love. Got a kiss from my SDR and my Stori at midnight

Well, I'm sure there are many more highlights, but like I said. I haven't the energy yet.
