More Christmas-ing

We are shortening our Christmas season this year by leaving for Florida on the 18th so we had to cram in a lot of celebrating early. This meant making cookies on Sunday evening to pass out during the week. We made a ton of cookies! The wild part was that we had the doors and windows open because it was so nice outside. I'm loving this unseasonably warm weather we've been experiencing in the Midwest.

MacK is always so helpful when I'm wrapping
Tuesday evening we got to grab pizza and breadsticks and visit Mauck farms for Christmas with Sir Liam!
Too sweet!
MacK also "helped" Sir Liam unwrap!

Just hanging out- we just love this family!
(Kort's baby proofing with noodles is priceless)
We got Liam a little tractor and a personalized book that made the rounds on Facebook called "The boy who lost his name." It was a super cute book, but it may have been a bit long for his age. Whoops!

We had big plans for the rest of the week and then illness struck. On the way home from the Mauck's Jackson started feeling really bad. By Wednesday morning we were both feeling awful and ended up staying home from work. I rallied and was back to work on Thursday, but Jackson was in terrible shape.

Little Miss MacKenzie stayed by his side each minute. I ended up taking Friday off to take Jackson to the doctor as he was just too ill to not do anything. It turns out he had a horrible case of the flu. He got about 70 prescriptions and then came back home to rest. Poor thing. We're going to try to get on the road once he wakes up from his nap since we've already paid for the hotels along the route to Naples.

In other news: Jackson got his headshot back from his trip to Denver. Doesn't he look handsome?!
