Under The Weather

The Ables have been under the weather.  First, Jud got Strep, then ten days later caught the flu, then four days later had a double ear infection.  Addie has run fever on and off and so have I.  Dad has dodged the cooties, SO FAR.  Anyway, we haven't had much going on around here except lots of time spent at home.  Here are some cute pictures I found on my phone of our last three weeks.

Addison ADORES her brother.  He can basically have her in the head lock and she will just smile and laugh at him.  Cracks me up, but I love how much she loves him.

I let Jud push his own buggy around the store at Brookshires, which MAY have been a huge mistake.  I'm sure there will be no more quick trips to the grocery. :)

Dad and Judson and Addison have been enjoying their time on the plasma car Aunt Ashley bought Judson for Christmas.

Nanna bought Addison a pair of snap on pajamas for Christmas, and this was how we found her in her crib one morning. Little wiggle worm.

Addie's been rocking it out on Jud's drum set.

Judson has played with his remote controlled bass from Poppy.

We left our hair like this and didn't care.  We also decided our top lip and nose felt chapped from blowing our nose and got in the vaseline to fix it ourself.

We did some driving around the house.

We made some cookies one day, too.  We are so ready for the cooties to leave our house and STAY GONE!

My Future's So Bright...

I gotta wear SHADES!

Nanna's Christmas

After our celebration at home, we usually go to Nanna's House on Christmas Day to celebrate with her, but we had to have a last minute change of plans because her electricity went out, so the party moved to our house.
Nanna brought all her food to our house for brunch.  Once everyone started to show up, Judson just had to show them his new toy he got from Santa.

Addison was excited to see her Nanna.

Nanna usually reads a Christmas book to us, but in the excitement of changing houses, she forgot her book.  So after we ate, Dad suggested we read from The Jesus Storybook Bible.

Then we opened our gifts to each other and played with our new toys.

 Uncle Tim bought cowboy Judson some spurs!

 Aunt Ashley bought Judson a plasma car!

 Nanna gave Judson a new train!  This is what he had asked Santa for, so I bet Santa must have called Nanna and told her!

The fun times are still happening over here!  Almost everyone has taken a nap EXCEPT for Judson, of course.  He is too excited to sleep. 

Our Family Christmas

So we got home from Longview around 6, and Dad had to disappear in the garage to help Santa out with a few things, so after playing with some of our toys, we put Addie to bed and Judson and I made snowball cookies for Santa.  Judson left one on a plate and a glass of milk for him.

At bedtime, Dad tucked Judson in and they read the story of Jesus birth.  Then they said their prayers and Judson went to sleep.
The next morning, Jeremy went in Judson's room to remind him that today was Jesus Birthday!  Then, Judson came in the living room and found some treasures that Santa had left him (Addison decided to sleep late). 

Judson noticed that Santa ate his cookie and drank the milk and left him and Addison a letter!

About this time, Addie woke up and came to see her treasures from Santa!

Santa even came to see Hallie!
