The holidays have come and gone...

My sweethearts.

Hannah LOVES bathtime!

She doesn't even mind it when her sister splashes like crazy.

We were trying to get Hannah to take a bottle here. She also had a ridiculous high fever in this picture. You can see in her eyes how miserable she is.

We had a wonderful Christmas. Too much hurry up and get there and then leave, but once again Christmas was a success. Sydney liked to open presents this year, but once she got to a present that she really liked, she didn't want to keep opening. I think by next year she will be more excited about presents. Hannah liked playing with the wrapping paper as much as anything else.

We spent Christmas Eve day with Mom and Dad and Danny's family. We opened all of our presents and then went to church together at St. Mark Church.

Afterwards, we had our annual Spencer family Christmas at Mom and Dad's house. As always, it was a good time and there was a lot of great food.

Christmas Day we went to our house to see if Santa had come--he had. So we opened our presents before we moved on to our next stop. Which brings us to our last Christmas stop--Dave and Kari's house. Kari had baked a ham and made some other delicious food for us. Kayla drove down to be with us and we all had a nice visit.


Scott and I spent the week after Christmas cleaning and organizing our house. The time flew, but we really accomplished a lot. I am so fortunate to have a husband who helps around the house so much.

We spent New Years Eve with our neighbors. We played cards and ate and just hung out. I knew that Hannah wasn't feeling good and that she had been running a fever. Up until then, tylenol had kept it under control. Right after midnight, I picked up Hannah and realized that she was absolutely burning up. I immediately took her temperature and it was 104.7 I freaked out. One of our neighbors worked at the ER and she called there to ask for advice. They said to give her a cool bath and if that didn't bring down her fever to bring her in. Thank goodness it brought it down enough that I thought we could wait until the morning. So Hannah and I started the New Year out in the Emergency room. The doctor's office was closed and I knew that something had to be going on to give that baby a fever that high. It ended up being a double ear infection. After a round of antibiotics, Hannah is back to normal.


By the way, I don't know how to format this because I indent for paragraphs as I am typing, but when I post it is always jammed together.
