Christmas eve started off well enough... we were invited to light the advent candle for the 5 pm service at church. The girls looked adorable and really seemed to enjoy themselves.
Josh carried Zoey, Katrina is in the middle , Ryan and Abigail
Little did we know that the photo captured below would be the epitome of the rest of our Christmas!
On our way home, poor lil' miss Abigail got sick. By 8:30 Zoey started, and they continued to alternate every 10 minutes til 3 a.m. Katrina had been ill earlier in the week and was feeling just fine - she was ready to open presents - so we made the most of it with breaks for the unpredictable stomachs.
So if you're wondering why there hasn't been many posts lately - there has been at least one person in the house since Thanksgiving with illness. From stomach flu, to sinus infection, to ear infections, a short break for Joshua's college graduation and now back to the stomach flu - 2011 here we come!
Sister Charly flew in from WV for his big day. 
Could you see how proud I am of my baby boy?! Yes... I cried like a baby when the processional started.
Josh takes a moment to enjoy his sisters and get a quick moment with his friend Nate before the graduation festivities begin. I hear they didn't sleep much all weekend... Congratulations Josh! You deserve all that life has to offer - Carpe Diem!
