Two weeks before Christmas my true love gave to me...

(feel free to sing along)
6 with pink eye
5 sore throats
4 people coughing
3 with stomach flu
2 with strep throat (and 2 ear infections)
and one sinus infection for me!

This wasn't the carol we wanted to be singing two weeks before Christmas, but it hit us hard. We are still in amazement that the illnesses just kept coming. Just when we thought the colds and strep throat were about to leave, the stomach flu hit. Each night we would dread going to sleep wondering what was going to happen that night. I felt like we needed to fumigate the house with Lysol! Thankfully we'd already bought the kid's presents, but everything else was put off until the Friday before Christmas. If we had to look at the two week trial and learn from it I would say my lessons were:

1. All the fluff of Christmas is just fluff.
2. The Priesthood is one of God's greatest gifts.
3. Christmas miracles exist.
4. When Mom is sick, the house falls apart.
5. Good health is priceless.

Here's to a HEALTHY New Year!!
