Christmas Part 2

-
This was our first Christmas on the road after a few years of hosting it. Here's our makeshift Christmas tree that Kent set up. 
We woke up to a sick toddler. We had to switch our "It's your STOCKING! Look PRESENTS! Yum CANDY!" expectations to no real expectations at all. 
With Ma and Pa home for Christmas, we felt like a "normal" family! Anna hosted the gatherings. Here is Ma welcoming us on Christmas morning in her fleece reindeer jammies. 
A Happy Birthday Jesus candle and Ma's delish Christmas casserole. 
Little Miss had moments when her medicine kicked in and she was happy. 
Only a Grandma would give a toddler a blue raspberry lollipop. 
It was a tech-filled Christmas day with lots of TV and iPad time for the sick girl 
It's easy to snuggle up beside Uncle Ben when he lets you watch Curious George 
 Watching Frozen (Where Caris waited and waited for "Owaf" to appear)
 
I wouldn't wish for a sick girl, but the snuggles were pretty nice
Pops was tired after all of the eating and TV watching 
Starting and ending Christmas with a sick kid was no fun, but we tried to make the most of it! High five to the family members who endured the whining, crying and overall crankiness all day.

    How about a close up picture of your mom in the reindeer PJs?
    Also, Shelly looks overly excited watching Frozen, or am I mistaken?

Did today feel different to you? Special in any way? Today, February 17, marks T E N Y E A R S of blogging for me! Whaaaattttt. I started blogging to document my family (the first post was about my dad falling down the steps after chasing squirrels with a shot gun. Click here ) and in the last ten years I've had plenty of life to record (Graduations, marriages, jobs, a move to Africa, babies) Blessed. After maxing out the free storage on my first blog, I switched to Packin' Parkers  until I landed at my current blog. Will you do me a huge favor? After ten years of clicking away on various keyboards, bearing my heart and soul to you  (guilt tactics in full force) and sharing pictures of those near and dear to me... Will you tell me who you are? I'm dying to know who my readers are! I know a few of you, but I'm curious to know who my lurkers are. I am the number one blog lurker, no shame. Reveal yourself! 1.

I wear fancy shoes while reading books next to my sister  I recently asked to wear a princess dress for the first time  I try to put on my sisters' panties when they're not around  I eat cereal with a spoon like a big girl  I "help" mom sort laundry by taking one pile out of the basket and putting it in a different (wrong) basket, all while naming the person that the article of clothing belongs to "ehyaehya DADDY ehyaaah MOMMY....eeeeMINE...."
