Christmas 2010

Wow we had a great Christmas week with family and friends. We got such wonderful gifts from everyone. Thanks so much. It was a rough start with everyone sick. Carl in I lay in bed one night after we had both been puked on by Owen and Nathan earlier in the night and said if there was a song to describe our start to Christmas it would go like this. The twelve days before Christmas at the Priechenfried house.
12 prescriptions from Walgreen's
11 boxes of Kleenex
10 loads of laundry
9 dinner parties
8 hours of sleep in 7 days
7 more loads of laundry
6 more perscriptions
5 humidifiers humming
4 trips to the doctors
3 runny noses
2 kids puking
1 and a cat that poops on the floor!

Don't worry things got lots better, Aunt Ali and Troy showed up with Grandma and Grandpa we got help. Mom got lots of sleep. Everyone got better and all is well. We had a fun, we had snow and boy did we eat too many cookies! Carl has been home for two weeks, Aunt Ali and Troy got stuck here because of the snow and Aunt Ali started cleaning well okay organizing, she left no closet untouched! Grandma took the kids for some fun a few days and things are great. Monday is going to be a such a shock to my system! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


The cousins sit for a picture on Christmas Eve.


Carl captured Nathans first look at the presents from Santa.


Caitlin was not far behind.


Caitlin loved her West Virginia Univ bear from Uncle Bob and Aunt Roberta. I have never seen her so happy to get a gift, I had to take the picture twice because she was running around screaming I love it I love it!






Caitlin painted Grandma a dolphin and gave it to her for Christmas.



Owen and Caitlin sit with Ali on Christmas morning. Poor Owen he was so sick . Wow was he sick!

Owen got a horse from Santa.




Nathan asked for a speed boat from Santa! It is so fast.



One of Owen's favorite toys , this car! He loves to drive.



Caitlin got a baby doll and matching outfits!



Nathan watches his speed boat go!
Oh and about the 13 year old cat, she is still here but the carpets got steam cleaned yesterday and she now has her own litter box in the garage!
