A Little Bit of Christmas Cheer

Whatever in the world do you do when you're sick coming up on Christmas time? You find the little bit of Christmas AND the little bit of cheer that makes it truly Christmas...

Dustin wrapped up in the throw from our family Christmas gift

That beautiful smile that you wait for after the sickness has passed

Bringing a sick child a bit of love in a cup of tea

The aromatic scent of the essential oils being diffused

Another Christmas gift that makes the constant hand washing bearable

The yummy scent of blueberry candle filling the air and the warm glow of candle light

(yet another Christmas gift!)

All those cards sent from loved ones near and far

The cool FRESH air you know you need to help clear out the icky bug

A new nativity scene you bought using birthday money from a son

Christmas stockings...especially the new one for the newest member of the family!

And the new ornament just for the littlest

And all those packages waiting for Christmas day :-)

Sweet little boy's face passing the time watching something sweet and simple

The something sweet and simple :-D

Hanging out with the family all around(literally!)

The yummy Christmas gifts put into the freezer for the day everyone is well

A nativity scene colored by a daughter and adorning the fridge

The manger cut out (with my help) by our 3 year old

A "real" manger made by my "big" boys set out just to remember the true reason for the season

A fun sign telling the world how we feel about snow

The welcoming wreath on the front door

The hours spent putting together a beautiful puzzle sometimes alone and sometimes not

Borrowed books that help make the season festive and real

Hubby's hat and phone because though he's sick, he's home

Another set of Christmas gifts that help pass the time and let us count the days as "school" days

because even though we're sick we're also watching some history!
