Here We Come A Caroling!



For family home evening on Monday night we got all bundled up in our winter clothes, put Emmy holding Lilly in a sled and walked through our neighborhood and sang Christmas Carols to some of our neighbors. Despite how cold it was, we all stayed pretty warm and afterwards we went to some friends' house to have hot cocoa. While we were there the kids got to act out the Nativity. Emmy played an angel and Carter was a wiseman/shepard. We all had a good time and then the rest of this week happened.
So far Ashton, Lilly, Jaron and Emmy have been sick with a variety of things from high fevers with headache (Emmy), to a sore throat (Jaron), to high fevers with vomiting (Lilly and Ashton). Carter and I are the only holdouts up till now, but that could easily change before tommorow. Anyway, we are all going to bed early tonight (at about 7). Hopefully we can all get healthy again before family arrives for Christmas.

Hey, That is cool you went caroling did you come to my neck of the woods? Sorry everyone is sick! I hope you all feel better for Christmas. Also, sorry about not coming to the McFadden's. These workers just showed up and I had to let them finish working while they are available. I need to have one at my house, maybe after the holidays?

Oh, it's fun to see all of you bundled up for caroling!! It was even fun seeing "our stop sign" in the front yard. Makes us know home is still there. We do miss HOME at Christmas time -- and all of you (and all of our family)!
We're sorry you're all sick!! Looks like the kids need to wear more WARM clothes, even in the house. Take Care -- and know we love all of you!!
