"Snow" Much Fun!


Mommy pulling Makenna and Cami through the yard. Cami loved it!

Kenna going down hill by herself! WHEEE

Daddy and Cami on her first trip down hill sledding! Woweeeee!

The girls all bundled up for the snow!

A little snow fell last night so we bundled up and took the girls out this morning in the COLD wind! It was Camille's first snow experience. She had a lot of fun sledding and laughed when she went down the hill with daddy. Makenna went down the hill by herself today. She was a little nervous on the way down but decided it was fun when she was all done.

Christmas afternoon we enjoyed a nice lunch with the Susil clan! After lunch it was on to more presents. Of course it was so much fun - with six kids, five of which are 3 years old and under. As you can see from the group shots we all had a lot of excitement!

Christmas Morning!

The favorite present- a telescope!

Nana and Cami - ready for her morning nap.

So excited about the stroller!

Great Grandpa Miller with Cami and Kenna.

Makenna is deciding which present is her favorite.

We had a lot of fun Christmas morning. Santa left Makenna a note thanking her for the cookies and milk and reminding her to be a good girl for the next year! She thought that was special- she read the note to everyone who visited. She also got a telescope which she loved. Boy that Santa knew all the right things to get this year. Makenna has also been enjoying her globe. Camille was more interested in breakfast than the presents but eventually got them all open :0) She loves her stroller, balls and all of sissy's presents. Nana and Baba came over for the mayhem and brought great Grandpa Howard too! We enjoyed yummy french toast casserole, breakfast sausage and a chocolate, caramel apple (thanks Rhonda) compliments of Mommy.

Miller Family Christmas




The Saturday before Christmas we went to my mom's house (Nana and Baba.) After dinner was finished we had a very special visitor! Santa came to Nana's house. Makenna was very excited, Cami not so much. We had fun visiting with all the cousins and aunts and uncles though!

Christmas Picture Fun





Today we attempted a picture of the girls for our Christmas cards! What fun!!!!! They both did a good job, especially since Makenna isn't back to her old self yet. You can see her kind of wilting in the photos as her energy level drops quickly. Cami was eatting and many of the good shots show her snacks - ick. We found a few good ones. Here is sneak peek - you will have to wait for your Christmas cards to see the best one though!

Sick Girl

Makenna spent five days last week in the hospital. She had a very bad UTI that made her vomit and become dehydrated. It really took it out of her. She was on IV fluids and IV antibiotic for five days. She didn't talk to us or get out of bed for 31/2 days and if you know Makenna you know that is not like her. It was pretty quiet around here (her hospital room!) She made it home Friday and is still recooperating. She doesn't have much of her appetite back and is still VERY weak. She has been camped out on the couch for most of the weekend. Cami was very excited to see her sister. She wasn't allowed to visit while Makenna was in the hospital. She welcomed Makenna home with a great big smile and a sloppy, juicy kiss on the cheek. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and good thoughts. We are a very blessed family and Makenna is loved and cared for by so many people - it means the world to us!
