Warner Family Adventures: The Holidays!

Or as we will forever remember the past two weeks.....the season of the flu.

On the 23rd Kolby had a fever. We were not to worried and assumed it was a little cold. We did have a wonderful Christmas eve, even with both boys feeling under the weather. We watched a movie, read about the true meaning of Christmas, decorated cookies for Santa and left food outside for Santa's reindeer. On Christmas morning we were up (all 4 of us) at 4am. 95% because none of us slept, both Luke and Kolby had fevers and were up all night. 5% excitement about Santa. So our pictures are very limited (funny what exhaustion does to my brain, normally pictures are the first thing I think of) Christmas morning was very subdued, but everyone was thrilled with the gifts.

We had lots of time to play with Santa toys before Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Mary came over for presents and breakfast.

One of Luke's favorites from Auntie Liz and Uncle Gary.

Most of the day was spent like this. We did go over to Grandma and Grandpa's for a yummy Christmas dinner.

On Sunday we drove to Salt Lake to spend time with Steve and Miki. We also got to have dinner with the Allreds and exchange our family gifts, very fun. On Monday Steve and Dewey went skiing at Park City. (on killer perfect snow I might add) Kolby still was not feeling good his fever was still over 100. Clearly it was not just a little cold like we had thought/hoped. So off to the doctors we went. They tested Kolby for influenza we had to wait a day to find out the results. On Tues Miki had made an appointment for her, I and keanna to go to a spa for some girl time. I'm pretty sure those few hours of pure relaxation saved me. It was AMAZING!! We drove home that same day and found out Kolbys test results were positive. Luckily for me I had had my flu immunizations.......however Dew, Luke and Kolby had not. The rest of the week was spent with everyone (except me) sick to various degrees.

By New Years eve everyone was feeling slightly better so we had a friend and his kids over to celebrate. The kids had a blast, I got them journals to decorate for the 2011. They watched a movie with popcorn and hot chocolate. And who doesn't love party hats?
