The weekend before Christmas (12/19/14-12/21/14) we went to Paris. We were supposed to go on Thursday (12/18/14) but bless Reid he decided to throw up. So we waited and went Friday when we thought everyone was better.....but then BAM on Friday night at my parents, Brian started ...then Reid AGAIN on Saturday and Pierce started....we had the stomach bug. Eek! My poor parents! We postponed our Christmas Dinner. Sunday we thought everyone was better and we did presents...but then I started getting nauseated. Poor Papa then got it.... Momma and I were the only ones that survived. and honestly I didn't survive because I had to take Tuesday off from work because I couldn't sit up with out getting nauseated! I was very tore up but the more people I talked to, the MORE I realized A LOT of people were sick with the bug over the holidays! BLAH! We are on the mend....THANK YOU so SO SO much Nona and Pap for letting us be at your house sick as dogs! Bless Uncle John was scared to death to come around us! He survived!
Thursday night when I thought everyone was well..... playing play dough!
Friday Morning we were headed to Paris, this was our CoPilot.....Reid's Mr Elephant from Befamy!
A train on the way to Paris! So fun! We raced! :)
On Friday (12/19/14) Uncle John was asked to do a You Tube video for a the Veterinarians On Call Channel on You Tube about hog barns and it being a family affair! The boys got to participate! I am so thankful we weren't throwing up! :) We had such fun and Reid even got out there! I was so impressed! We may not make the cut for the video but I signed the release to say it was A-OK for them to be in it for Uncle John! Uncle John and Aunt Dana will SO make the cut so we can't wait to see them! :) I got to meet John's friend and coworker Dr Seth, Toshs' vet! So nice! and the camera man was from New York and his name was Vas. Again so nice! The producers name was John and he has a son named Reed not Reid! :)

So, Uncle John used to have this duck like call thing, 100 years ago. It was rubber and we remember riding around in Ruleville with our cousins looking at Christmas lights and his blowing on that thing and our cousin Reese laughing to hard at John! :) Now him and the boys can enjoy hilarious moments like that now! :)
