I'm dreaming of a...

Well, we got the white Christmas. We spent the holiday in Colorado with a ton, and I mean a ton of snow. However we also got a heavy dose of RSV between Halle and Thomas. Halle spent Saturday through last night in Children's Hospital of Denver. So what was supposed to be the kids' first Christmas together in the snow turned into a little bit of a nightmare. But overall, it was great spending time with our family, we just wish it could have been with everyone. (We will have a postponed celebration once we're all virus free and off house arrest.)
Thomas tested positive for RSV yesterday at the local Winter Park pediatric clinic, but his oxygen stats weren't affected like Halle's. Needless to say, we headed down from the mountains early to help the little one breathe. Or at least attempt to breathe through the snot. We're all home now. (Tom, Sandy, Brent, Julie and Halle drove all night from Denver. Getting on a plane with an oxygen tank is not as easy as it seems...) Halle's off the O2 and excited that Santa came by her house while she was gone. So it's back to normal- just a snot and cough induced normal. Here are some pics from our trip.

Here's how Thomas spent his first sleigh ride- asleep.


Can you say Christmas ham?

By the way, Thomas' big Christmas surprise was his first tooth. His lower front left tooth broke through Christmas morning. The right tooth is not far behind. My little man is growing up...
