Christmas Parade

It has been quite a few days around here, mostly for Kate.  She had her 15 month appointment on Thursday and got her immunizations and flu shot.  Over the past few days, she has been running a fever, been very lethargic and diarrhea.  I feel so bad for her.  She is doing better today.  This was Friday when she got up from her nap.  I have been her hair in a pony tail on top of her head to keep her bangs out of her eyes and it gets "stuck"...She was a tad unhappy and not ready to get up.

This is also what she has been mostly doing around the house the past few days.  And, she NEVER does this.  

Last night we took the kids to the parade downtown.  We weren't sure how we would do with 5 kids and being outside and getting late, but they were awesome.  Everyone listened and they all enjoyed it.  Kate and Claire were pretty mellow the entire time.  Blake laid down in one of wagons and relaxed.  Paige and Jack enjoyed the sights and tried to get as many beads and as much candy as they could.  It wasn't too cold either.  I also made some more shirts for the holidays for the kids.  You can see them on Kate and Blake.

Paige with all her beads.  She ended up with a lot more than this.
