Sick kid and Christmas Magic

I really should learn how to put pictures up on here! Maybe after Christmas when I hopefully have a new camera I will do that! For now you will just have to use your imagination! Coen is sick with double ear infections right now. Last night was a nightmare. Avry never had ear problems, so this whole ear thing is new to us. He is running fever, cranky, can't breath, and doesn't really care to eat either. Poor baby! Dr. Brodbeck gave us some good medicine this morning so hopefully we will be better soon! Avry got to stay home with Dad and Coen today too, she lucked out! We sent her to the sitter this morning with intentions of leaving her all day, but she left her "special blanky" at home. So, lucky her Daddy went and got her. That blanky, I tell ya, it is magic. You see they are a tradition in our family, my Mamaw started the tradition. I have yet to see a child that doesn't love their checked blanky! Avry snuggles with her's every night, nubby's (yarn strings) up, so she can wrap them between her fingers as she falls asleep. The other day, I caught Coen doing the same thing. Must be soothing.
One week from today we will be celebrating Christmas with my family, then Santa will be coming! Then it will be off to Odessa for more Christmas-with the McClellands! WOW! It is coming up on us so fast. We have been singing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus for about a week now. It is so sweet to hear Avry singing the song! She also has been playing with her Little People Nativity Scene and we have been teaching her about baby Jesus being born. I think we might have to leave the Nativity Scene down year round, she loves it! Christmas is such a magical time of year. It is like God sprinkles magic happiness dust all over the world, the bad seems to be put on the backburner and all the good stuff just gleams!
