Christmas Time!

We are in full Christmas mode at our house. The presents are all bought (except one) and wrapped and under the tree! Mackenzie is lucky enough to have grandmas that bought her the cute Santa shirt (Mindy) and pretty Christmas tutu (Shanna). So of course we had to do a photo shoot :) Mackenzie went to see Santa this week. I don't have the photos on my computer but she did really well. She kept playing with his fuzzy coat and would look up at him, look at me, then back at him. She never cried but I couldn't get a smile out of her. The picture turned out cute, though. 

Her hair is long enough to get into a ponytail! You can't tell in this picture because of her bow, but it's in a pony. 

Today we ventured to Bronner's in Frankenmuth. Needless to say, we weren't the only one's who went there. I guess that is what we get for waiting until the last minute! But we were able to find everything we went there to get with no trouble. We got Mackenzie her first ornament and daddy helped her add it to our tree this evening.

Can't Catch a Break!

Well, the past week was pretty much a whirlwind of unfortunate happenings! Last Sunday, we realized our water well had taken a turn for the worst. So we packed up our stuff and Mackenzie and headed over to Mimi and Pappy's house for a sleep over. Needless to say, our sleep over turned into three sleepovers! Apparently, the well people didn't consider us an emergency because no one was home. HELLO?! No one was home because we have an infant and had no water! Anyway, Wednesday night Mackenzie threw up everywhere and got the flu from other kids at the babysitter :( I was so thankful because Jason's mom was a great help to me while cleaning up Mackenzie in the middle of the night. We were able to come back to home sweet home on Thursday and all was well. Until Friday morning when our toilet broke. Thank God Jason's brother was able to come over to fix it while we were at work. I was especially thankful that afternoon because I ended with up with the flu! That would not have been a good situation with a broken toilet! To top it off, my parents came to visit this weekend. Unfortunately, it wasn't too fun of a weekend but they were able to spend some play time with Mackenzie :) So I was feeling pretty puney over the weekend but getting a little better each day. Mackenzie threw up again Sunday night again and had diarrea to top it off. But she seemed better Monday morning, so off to her babysitter's we went. Feeling pretty wiped out after my first day back after having the flu, Mackenzie and I were waiting on daddy to arrive home from work Monday night. What were the first words out of his mouth, you ask? "I don't feel good and I think I'm going to throw up." So off to the bathroom he went and pretty much stayed there for the remainder of the night/morning. I am typically off on Tuesday's so while I am still on the mend, I also had the job of taking care of two babies today! :)  I apologize I do not have any updated photos for this post but can you blame me for not particularly wanting to capture the moments of the past week?
