CHRISTMAS 2006

This was Christmas for us this year... Poor Rya was sick the days leading up to Christmas and during. She had a mild fever and nasty cough and runny nose and just plain sick. The little one tried to enjoy Christmas but it wasn't easy.

She was so congested she wouldn't eat or drink much of anything... popsicles were our only hope.

We still went ahead with all the Christmas plans and dresses... but Rya was in no mood for any of it.

The gold dress was a gift from our friend Christina... and the shoes from Teta Ramona.

Next it was onto the green dress... a little more comfortable but still Rya was just surviving the torture.

Christmas morning and Rya was still sick but tried her best to get into the Christmas spirit.

The wooden rocking horse was made by Grandpa and should last a few years as it is a little big still. She loves her horses. The slide was from Ona and Alfred and Old Mocuite. You can hear and see Rya talking about the monkey that sat on her gift from Mocuite.

And don't forget about the awesome "horse" (zebra) from Cousin Aidan. Already a favorite.

Not the greastest Christmas as we were all sick... it turned out to be a "surviving Christmas" kind of holiday. We were so thankful for our Family that came for dinner and games and all the great cheer... through hacking coughs and trumpet-like nose blowing.

God Bless us everyone!
