Christmas -take one!

This past week Tim's parents were able to fly in from New York for Tim's graduation (more to come later). However let's be honest they flew in to see Ian. While it was not an easy or fast journey (given all the snow) we were very excited they were able to make it. So was another little boy :) Since we are not going back to New York for Christmas we decided to celebrate Christmas here a little early -Tim's brother and wife were also able to come down from Salt Lake.

Ian loved opening presents. The first present he opened was a remote control car -he loves it!!! He was so excited that he could make it go. He holds the button down and then runs away from the car giggling. It is quite the event. For Christmas Tim even got a remote control car and Ian loves playing cars with daddy. He got tons of fun toys and some pajamas. I don't know what he is going to do come January I think he may think Christmas is a weekly thing. After opening his presents up stairs we we headed downstairs where Amy & Jimmer had set up the tent and tunnel they got for Ian. This was his face when he very first saw it. Do you think he was excited???

He loves playing in his tent and crawling super fast through the tunnel. Not a day goes by that he doesn't play in the tent. I am not sure quite how we got along without it anymore. He loves to play hide and go seek as well -something he learned from Ellie.

Ian loves to mimic what others do. Tim was playing a new Wii hunting game and Ian thought he would join in. He even went over and got his ball to sit on just like daddy.

We had a wonderful week and were sad to see everyone go. One morning Ian woke up did not wake us up as usual. Instead he head straight downstairs to play with Grandpa and Grandma MacNair. While they were here we made Gingerbread for a Gingerbread barn. However we did not get to actually put it together. Amy was kind enough to stay and help tend to Ian -and it proved to be quite the task.

On Monday Ian got food poisoning -how you ask? It was horrible -Well for lunch I wrote down that Ian could have M&C, bologna, pbj, anything. Tim came home for lunch and fixed Ian a bologne sandwich. Amy sent me a text around 2 to inform me that Ian had just thrown up a lot in his bed and is saying that his tummy hurts. After much thought and talking with Tim we later realized that while I had thought Tim bought new bologna at the grocery store, I did not realize the container in the frig was infact not new but old bologna. Tim thought it was fine because I had wrote that Ian could have it for lunch. For your information: Bologna goes bad after it has been opened in seven days. Well the rest of the night was spent with Amy and I cleaning up after Ian. Ian went through 5 outfits that night and I went through 5 as well. He would not lean over into the sink or bowl or anything he just want me to hold him and puke all down me. Finally that night he was able to eat some chicken noodle soup and keep it down. By morning he was fine. Like I said it was quite the task.

On to better things: Amy was able to stay and we all put together and decorated the gingerbread barn (animals are missing we got to tired).

We had a great time with all the family here and appreciate all of your help in taking care of Ian. Ian can say Amy perfectly -and it is quite impressive. Thanks so much!!!
