Merry Christmas
Unfortunately, for Nelle's first Christmas she was sick. But luckily she was surrounded by family to make her feel at least a little better. Christmas Eve she developed a fever and it still hasn't gone away. The poor girl is miserable. We started our Christmas at home at 4:30 in the morning when Nelle decided it was time to wake up (she was just burning up). A little later that morning I made breakfast and we opened only a few presents as Nelle was overwhelmed. We waited and then proceeded and opened more. Then we went to Papa and Mimi Eldredge's house and met up with the fam. We had a good little lunch and exchanged presents. I have to say my favorite part was singing messed up Christmas carols! Then it was off to Nana's for the last stop. By this time Nelle was TOTALLY miserable but still enjoyed Nana's presents as much as she could. Overall, Nelle's first Christmas could have gone better but we tried to make it the best we could with what we had to work with. Thank you to everyone for everything and Merry Christmas!

Poor lil' gal. We sure hope she gets feeling better soon!! She was a trooper, and at least she felt better off and on. We had a great time with everyone, and I have to agree about the messed up carols... those were great. The book was AWESOME, and don't forget about that amazing Christmas feast you made at night. Totally rocked!!
poor nelle! it's so sad when they're sick. she looks like she still had a good christmas, and you can't even tell from the pictures that she was sick. i've never seen her with her hair down, and it looks adorable! thanks for the presents from nelle! gabe has been playing basketball with his ball a ton!! we sent nelle a present from gabe and grant in the mail before grant was born, but wilson said it still hasn't gotten to nana's house yet. keep your eyes out for it to turn up soon.
