Wow this year is nearing an end and we are getting comfortable and feeling more "normal" as a family of 5.
We just celebrated our first Christmas as a family of five! The happiness and spirit from the three drowned out the saddness of missing my brother Paul. He would have wanted us to be Happy for the Holidays so he got his wish!
Dan and I went over board getting toys for the kids this year but I think the kids appreciated it.
Teddy Bears from NeVaeh
Even Sue Z Q gets something
Cheese.....
No Aaliyah this is my picture LOL
What a ham :)
NeVaeh wasn't feeling good for Christmas. She had been under the weather for a couple weeks again. She got all tuckered out and fell asleep soon after opening presents. We got a call from the doc the day after Christmas telling us the lab work they drew last week shows she has Mono :( . Hopefully she will get some energy soon!!
The clowns all piled into Aaliyahs bed and were very candid for a photo!
We had two family gatherings the kids enjoyed also. This first set of pics are from Dan's side.
All the kids on Dan's side....Its much smaller than my side...We couldn't even attempt a picture..LOL...NeVaeh didn't feel well so she didn't get into the picture.
This next set of pictures are from the gathering from Patti's side..Guess I didn't take many pictures.
Grandma trying Aaliyah's tiger hat on :)
Wishing everyone a happy new year!!
