Christmas with the Voogts

We celebrated Christmas with Justin's family yesterday. It's been a while since we've had all the Voogts together. It was fun to see everyone. Unfortunately Rebecca caught the bug that's been going around the Holleboom family. So we had to take her to the Dr. in the morning. And she wasn't quite herself at the party. We opened gifts, had a nice ham dinner and visited for a while. Rebecca got lots of great toys. She loves her John Deere tractor from Grandpa :) She "dances" whenever it plays "Old McDonald." She also got a wagon from Grandpa and Grandma. We're anxious for spring so we can try it out. Aunt Shannon knitted Rebecca a cute bonnet. Grandpa and Grandma Voogt stayed with us Mon. and Tues. nights. We're glad they got to spend a little extra time with Rebecca. We hope they don't catch the bug, though.

Rebecca had a pretty rough night last night. She slept (on and off) in Mommy's arms from 10pm to 4am in her rocker in the nursery. Now she's in the living room rocking chair with Daddy. She can't breath well if she lays in her crib. Even with cough syrup and Tylenol she's still struggling. Hopefully we'll be past the worst of it in a few days. Poor little girl.
