Last Thursday Makenna woke up with a raging fever that left her basically lifeless, miserable and oh so tired. We spent the entire day on the couch...she slept and I watched too much Nick Jr. We hoped she would feel better by Friday and thought for sure by Saturday she would be on the mend enough to enjoy Santa presents. No luck. She was pretty miserable-fevers on and off and I am sure she felt achy and awful even though she couldn't tell us that...her non verbal cues told me this and her frequent yelling of "Don't talk about me!"....any time Joe or I would discuss how she was feeling or if we asked her any questions. She pretty much decided to set up camp on my lap and demanded we cuddle on the couch. Which would have been okay...but since it was Christmas and all...we couldn't really just forget what day it was or plans we had. I have to say that Katey was a TROOPER, what a good big sister! She was patient and caring and even understood that we had to wait for Makenna to wake up Christmas morning...the Santa presents sat un opened for at least 1 hour-impressive huh.
Overall we did have a wonderful holiday and I couldn't help but count all my blessings...the love I have in the my life, my family and friends...our new home to celebrate in and the over all joy of Christmas.
I will post pictures later:)
