So poor Kyle has got the cold from hell:( He started to get a cold on Thursday and by Thursday night he had developed croup. I tried to help fix it by taking him outside to open his throat and thought that it had helped but we ended up calling healthlink and they told us to go to the Alberta Children's Hospital. She also said that I needed someone in the back of the van with Kyle in case his croup acted up again. So, my wonderful friend Dianna came over and stayed while Katie slept. We finally got home at 4am and boy oh boy were we all ever tired. Katie had school that morning and Carmen drove her there and back so that I could try to get some sleep. Unfortunately, Kyle had other ideas...he got up after only sleeping maybe 6 hours total that night. Sooo tired! We all just hung out as a family on Friday and we were really looking forward to the Santa Claus Parade in Airdrie(The first one in Airdrie in 6 yrs) on Saturday but poor Kyle's ear started to hurt so he and Chris stayed home. Katie and I missed them so much during the parade:( We had fun but just missed the other half of our family. The parade was really great. They had a digger, police car, firetruck, no wonder I missed Kyle so much, Santa and they gave our some candy canes and some other candies. Katie had SO much fun at the parade. She was squealing with delight as she saw the floats. Really looking forward to going next year with our friends. Glad we just went by ourselves since I'm starting to feel like I am getting Kyle's cold. Praying it isn't the cold from hell. We also ended up missing an adult xmas party tonight.
Chris had his work party in November and it was AWESOME!! It was so nice to go out and be all dressed up and have a really nice dinner with great people. The kids xmas party is December 15 and we are really looking forward to that. We have our own Christmas party next weekend. Small with just a few families but we are really looking forward to spending some quality time with friends.
The kids have their own tree this year and did we ever decorate the heck out of that thing! I just love it. I also love our adult tree. Elegant and perfect but I really do love the kids tree. So many decoration, colors, garland, etc.
Not long now and Auntie Cindy will be here for Christmas. Can't wait! We are going to have such a great time. I wish she was going to be here for New Years also but no luck. We still have to decide what we are going to do for NYE. Hmmm...
So I was going to post photos but I guess I now have to pay! What the heck! Might be time for a new blog...
