Our family had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
We spent actual Thanksgiving morning around the house, lounging and playing games. Then we hit up Grammie and Grandad's house for some yummy brunch, followed by a quick trip to the Teson side's get together to see a bunch of family that we don't see all that often.
After that...a quick nap at home followed by more family time at Grammie and Grandads house.
I took Friday off work and got to spend time with the kiddos just the 3 of us while Brian was working. We got together with my side of the family on Saturday, they all came up for some fabulous turkey dinner with too much food!!
The best family picture we could get...
not bad for being scrunched into one chair!
I thought the kids looked cute so I tried to get some pics of them sitting on the couch...
Lighting was terrible and I was using my camera on my phone...
thought I got some cute pics though!
Our little Maggie, cheesing it up!
Andrew was sneaking up behind me while I was taking pictures of Maggie, he wanted to join in!
GGRita and the kiddos
Oh, and Colin is just finishing up his antibiotic for a random, weird fluky thing that happened last week.
Colin woke up in the middle of the night saying he had a bug bite that was hurting him. Being the loving mother that I am, I slapped on a bandaid and told him to head back to bed.
In the morning, he said he had a headache, so I checked his temperature (it was fine) and gave him some medicine and sent him to school. By the end of the day, he came home from school, with a fever, pale, puny looking, and complaining of a headache.
We laid low the rest of the night and when we changed him into pajamas, only then did we notice he had a HUGE red, swollen and hot area where the bug bit him, all the way down to his groin.
We did an immediate trip to urgent care and they gave him some antibiotics for the infection.
They are not sure if something dangerous bit him or if he just scratched at it and infected it, but either way, we are on the mend...it looked terrible the next day, he spiked a fever and was vomiting. The red area spread down his leg and across his belly. Crazy how the body reacts to things...
Anyway, life's always full of surprises when you've got young kids!
Nothing that a nice orange popsicle won't fix!
