Christmas at Aaron & Kari's

Solomons 1st Sled Ride!!!

Having some playtime in the new Snow that we were getting that weekend!! (Good thing Daddy likes to play in it, because Mommy doesn't!!!)



Our God-Son Solomon........What a little doll he is!!! :)

So this would be what happened......oh........about 1 hour after we got to Nate's Cousin Aaron's house for Christmas on the 19th of Dec. Apparently it is way fun to run and jump on and off other peoples stairways even after Mom tells you to settle down!! Well he was running to jump onto the stairs and I heard a loud thud, we turned and looked at him and asked if he was alright and he was laying on the step holding his head and said that he was fine ( I think he was embarrassed..) I asked him like 3 more times and he kept saying he was fine so we went on with our conversation and about a minute late Gavin cam up to me holding his hand, that was completely covered in blood, out to me and he said that something was wrong!!! I tried to remain calm and get the bleeding under control and apply pressure so I could tell how bad it was and then Nate & Aaron came back from the store so we assessed the situation and also Aaron & Kari have a DR. that lives in there development, so Kari called him up to ask his opinion on what to do and he said that what I was doing was exactly right and that they really only stitch for 2 reasons 1) To stop the bleeding (which I had done) 2) For Cosmetic Reasons (no big deal there he has enough scars to show & his hair would cover it anyway) So after we got that out of the way we decided that we were not going to have it stitched and sent the boy's out to get some Steri Strips at the drug store and we just threw some of them on (after a small haircut with Aaron's electric razor!!) and he was good as new!!! but WOW what a start to the holidays!!! :) Never a Dull moment!

The Start of Christmas!!!!







This was the 1st year that we had a REAL Christmas Tree in like 8 yrs!!! And it was the cutest little 5 footer I've seen :) So the boy's were helping me put the decorations on after I got all the lights on (700 lights on my little tree!!)
It was SOOOOO beautiful!! Nothing makes me smile more than sitting with no other lights on but the tree during Christmas!! I LOVE IT!!!
