Christmas times 3!

The holidays are always a hectic time, filled with trying to do everything with everyone! :) Since we are mostly only around my family, Cindy gets drug along to all of the "Kiser/Polman" activities, there is a bit less running... Notice I said a bit less! :)

This year was a little wild since we had illness running through our house for the week before Christmas. This meant more time to get the last minute baking, gift wrapping and what not done since I didn't have daycare and we were quarantined, but it also meant juggling schedules! Trying to find somehow to get Brody to his boy scout Christmas party, picking up homework to keep all the kids caught up before break, missing out on Bella's preschool program and then trying to figure out who was going to be healthy enough to go to all the Christmases with us each day...

We began our Christmas extravaganza with Cindy at her house. Since it is just the 6 of us and Cindy it was a no brainer that we were able to do that Christmas with no problem. Then we headed into Sunday and Christmas with my immediate family. This pose a bit more of a problem as we didn't want to expose 12 other kids to whatever was running through our house... Thank God for Cindy and her willingness to have them come and veg at her house, but it also meant Christmas without Braxton and Bella who were the 2 that were still down and out. Monday came along with Christmas at my mom's house for the Polman side... This was our Christmas miracle in the fact that we were all healthy and able to spend the day together, except for Cindy who had now succumbed to something entirely different then what my family was down and out with... It seemed never ending for a while, but we made the best of it and the kids all loved the stuff that they got, even if they didn't get to all open it together! :)

Enjoy the show! :)
