Holiday Season In Review

We had an EXCELLENT month and here are the pictures to prove it. Brace yourselves there are A LOT of pictures - it has been VERY busy month.

The first snowman of the season. He is a bit small, but we didn't have a lot of snow to work with.


Landes family Christmas party. Grandma Honnie Knows how to throw an excellent party!




Christmas isn't Christmas if you don't visit temple square and see the lights. Brrrrr it sure was cold, but totally worth it!





Ashie's Tonsillectomy. He is recovering quit nicely. Although we did have one scary night involving a run to the ER. When Ashie's scabs came off he lost a lot of blood. More blood than any parent would want to see spewing from their child's mouth. In the end we paid $75 for a popsicle. All Ashie needed is more cool drinks/treats to slow the blood flow.


Francis family Christmas party.



Christmas Eve with my peeps. We Davi know how to party - even Santa stopped by for the fun.






Christmas was spectacular like always! Having kids make Christmas even more magic, I love watching life through their eyes. They didn't even notice that we didn't have power all morning.






Christmas morning with Grandma Honnie and Grandpa Brad. Like always the boys were spoiled by all of their grandparents. I can't blame the grandparents when my boys are so stinking cute!




Enjoying the mounds of snow that dumped over the Christmas break.

Gynaecology Humor

I didn't think my OBGYN's office could top the Christmas card I got from them last year.
2007 OBGYN Christmas Card

You tell me?
2008 OBGYN Christmas Card

I don't even want to see next years card.

Recovery

Ashie is such a strong little guy. He doesn't let a "minor" thing like a tonsillectomy bring him down. He has been busy as ever, it could be the pain killers, they seem to have the side-affect of making him very hyper. Hopefully he will be fully recovered by Christmas.

Ginormous Tonsils

This isn't a picture of Ashie's tonsils, but it gives you an idea what his poor little mouth looks like. Crowded!!! His tonsils are what the doctor calls kissing tonsils (i.e. tonsils that are so large that they touch). I often wonder how the poor kid can swallow with those bad boys in the way.

Tomorrow Ashie's tonsils will be removed. Naph's and I are anxious about sending our baby into surgery, but we know it is best for our little guy. His tonsils make Ashie snore worse than Bampa, he has sleep apnea from time to time, his breath is horrid, no matter how much we brush his teeth, and the poor guy talks like a frog. I know it is his tonsils that causes him to talk that way. Needless to say Naph's and I are glad to see those bad boy tonsils go.

What would you do?

Yesterday while Ashie was hanging out with Glama they made Christmas wish lists and guess what was on the top of his list? A skate board. Ashie actually has been pretty consistent in expressing his wish of getting a skate board. When asked why he wants a skate board he always reply's because that is what the big boy's have. We live in a neighborhood full of big boys that can do cool tricks on skate boards and Ashie loves watching and being with the big boys.

My question to you is what do you do when your child consistently asks for a present you DON'T want to get for them? Do I ignore the request? Do I indulge him in his request? or do I let Santa be the one that disappoints him?
