A Crazy, but Great Christmas!

Ryan and I LOVE Christmas and this year was fun, but challenging at the same time. We started our Christmas activities on Christmas Eve with Ryan's Mom (Patty) and his sister (Lauren) coming to our house to bake cookies and Chicken Pot Pie. I had to work that day, so I missed the baking, but arrived home to some great smells in our house. When arriving home I realized that Keegan was hot. She was running a fever of about 101. We gave her Tylenol and hoped it would come down before Church at 5pm. Well, when it was time for church Keegan was in no mood for church, her temperature went up to 102.5 and she was VERY grumpy. We skipped church and let both girls nap. When they woke up we got ready and went over to my Parents house to start the Fangman Christmas!

At the Fangman Christmas there was lots of food, presents and fun with Holiday Poppers. Keegan & Fiona got some great gifts (including the Kitchen from my parents)and so did Ryan and I. By the end of the night Keegan seemed to be a little better, but still was not herself. We went home and were off to bed!

On Christmas morning the girls slept in till 9am. This gave me the rare opportunity to get ready before they were awake and Ryan got to sleep in. That was a great present for us from our little girls! Finally, when they woke up we quickly ate breakfast and went straight to the presents. They were both too cute! Keegan unfortunately was still running a fever and Fiona was a little stopped up.

After opening presents we were quickly off to Ryan's mother's side of the Family (Parrott side). Ryan's Aunt Beth had everyone over for a Christmas brunch. This was was so fun, especially because we got some really great gifts, especially for the girls! At Aunt Beth's Keegan started to get REALLY cranky due to her fever. She was quickly becoming a Christmas handful!

We left there and stopped by my parents to try and see my grandfather and some cousins... Unfortunately we missed everyone. So we opened our stocking from our parents and were quickly on our way to Ryan's father's side of the Family.

At the Sheehan Christmas we had a nice time, but Keegan was still awake (never taking a nap) and still had a fever. Fiona was doing okay, but was also not being the angel she usually is. We had a great time with Ryan's family doing the gift exchange and watching all the kids open their presents. Once again we all got some fantastic gifts and could not be more thankful!

We called it a night at about 8pm headed home and got Keegan to finally go to sleep. She was so exhausted at this point, especially with out a nap and the fever all day. We were all worn out.

The next day we visited my Grandma Pat since we could not make it on Christmas. It was nice to see her and she LOVED the candle we gave her. She also got the girls some great stuff too!

Our Christmas festivities did not end there, my parents had an unexpected party on Saturday night with family. We all had a great time and by this time, Keegan was feeling much better and was getting back to her normal self.

We had a GREAT Christmas this year, thanks to our family. We love you all and look forward to a new year!
