Scared to say it...

I'm scared to say it - but for the most part we are healthy again... Still coughing but no fevers anyway! We were actually able to venture out of the house today. Here's a picture of Brayden and Brianna with their good friends Lauren and Andrew. I can't believe I got a picture of them lined up so nicely! (It would have been too much to ask them to all look at me at the same time too!) The little ones opening their presents... Andrew wanted Brianna's toy (as you will see in a couple of pictures).
Brayden and Lauren playing a Dora game - cracking each other up.
Here it is - Andrew and Brianna playing house.
Pure excitement!

It continues...

Thankfully Brianna has been feeling better (still not perfect but at least she's eating and sleeping again). Unfortunately, Brayden now has it (fevers and a cough that's keeping most of us awake at night). Please continue to pray for our family! We did get a new washing machine (haven't tried it out yet - but it looks nice)!

Polar Bear Express

Sunday, we went on the Polar Bear Express with Yia Yia, Pa Pou, Chris, Brad, Sam, Grace, and Grant. The kids had a great time hearing a story and riding the train with Santa and Snowflake (the polar bear).
Brianna looks scared in this picture - however, she was actually giving the bear and Santa high fives, waving, and smiling - a huge improvement from the week before at the mall when she was shaking just looking at Santa!
Got room for one more Pa Pou?
This picture is very deceitful... Brianna has been very sick this last week. I had to take her to the ER saturday. She's been coughing like crazy, has a runny nose, low-grade fever, beginning of double ear infections, 2 top teeth coming in, and has thrown up in her bed 4 times since friday! Poor baby! She hasn't been sleeping or eating well. Please pray for God to heal her little body and protect the rest of us. (In addition, she fell off the slide this week, burnt her finger on the vaporizer, and our washing machine decided to stop working after we already put in a puke blanket and sheet.)

Thanksgiving weekend...
