Christmas in Reedsport

What a fun-filled crazy time we had in Reedsport with Ben's family this Christmas break! We left a day later than we had intended to because our kiddos both had runny noses and weren't feeling quite up to par. When we got down there and Ben's brother and his family showed up we breathed a sigh of relief as Byron's kids had snotty noses too! So, let the snot run and we'll still have fun we decided! - and we did. However, instead of getting better, Easton daily got worse and worse and more and more fussy. So, on Saturday we left in the morning and had a rough car ride home. We left the car running in the driveway as we unloaded and I took Easton to the doctor only to find out he had a double ear infection! I was relieved in a way because we were able to get him on some meds and knew relief would be in sight! - and today - finally, he's starting to get back to his smiley self! - Praise the Lord!!

All that to say, we had a fun, relaxing time hang'n with our wonderful family, playing games and letting the kiddos run wild! Thanks Nana and Pops for a fun Christmas!!

Raquelle, Ryder and Bella...ALL blankie and finger suckers - must run in the Harris family! :) Although, I had a blankie and sucked my thumb too...so, there might be a little Albert in there too! Here they are taking a break watching Charlotte's Web.

My new little "nephew" (Ben's cousin Levi's son) Lincoln - such a cutie-pie and sweet baby!! Poor Levi and Ashley have had a rough few months with this little guy - he's been soo soo colicky...so many tears, but yet such a blessing all at the same time!

Byron and Kim brought "Hi-ho Cherry-o" for the kiddos and they had such a fun time! - although I don't think they played it the correct way but a few times...but hey, kids don't care!

Raquelle got to take a dip in the spa with Ryder, Nana and Pops...you can see she loved it and was quite the little prune when she got out!
