My oh my

Xavier playing before his first trip to the ER and 2 stitches!

Two stitches covered by a HUGE band-aid. The nurse said it was the only size the ER had. Apparently in cost cutting measures, St. Vincent only buys one size band-aid.
Bill, Bill, Will & Will
William is a very popular name on my mom's side of the family!

Cousins Charlie and Francis chasing after Xavier. Charlie is expecting a new baby Brother in May! We can't wait for baby boy #2 Hockema! Congrats Amy, Bobby and Charlie!

A little Saturday night play-date with some of Jake's friends and their kids!
Graham, Cooper and X. I like this one because Coop is trying to get Graham's snacks and Xavier is trying to take Coop's sippy cup. Xavier wasn't really feeling the pics. It had been a long day for us!

And after an eventful weekend......sacked out on the couch.
Monday morning he awoke and started throwing up. At first I thought it was just a cold as it was pretty much only mucus but 4 times and 4 outfits later......had to be the flu.
I got a touch of it on Wednesday, though not as bad and then Jake got it on Friday.
So after the ER and stitches the Friday before, we had had a VERY long week.
X still has a runny nose and a nice cough but he seems to be doing a lot better finally. Which is just in time for CHRISTMAS! Yeah! "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Crossing my fingers noone else in the family gets sick (sorry Gigi and Opa who already got theirs this weekend after watching X) because being sick on Christmas is NO fun. I can personally attest to that as I had the flu last Christmas while pregnant!

Today we are going to the mall to finish some shopping and we are going to sit on Santa's lap! We saw Santa with Charlie and Caden at the Zoo but since this is his 1st Christmas I want to take him to the one at the mall too!
All my cousins and their kids will be at Christmas this year at my Grandmothers so we will have lots of excitement! There are 10 grandchildren, 5 spouses (or soon-to-be) and then 8 great-grandchildren (soon to be 9 with Baby H)! Xavier is going to love all the kids!
Okay well I need to get ready while my babe sleeps! Everyone have a great week and a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
