A Look Back at Christmas

No one ever warned me of the incredible lack of free time that comes with having an almost 3 year old and a newborn. Needless to say, the blog continues to be neglected! I'm going back to Christmas and will work over the next day or so to update you all on life at the Knutson house.

Christmas Eve, I started to feel a little under the weather. Pretty soon I had a fever that was getting pretty high. We called up to OB, and they diagnosed me with mastitis over the phone. I won't get into details, but it's not a fun thing to endure, especially around the holidays when you're trying to recover from a c-section! Needless to say, Christmas morning was a little blurry to me.

Christmas Eve we went to Laur and Jill's so the great grandparents could meet their newest great.


Here's my little guy finishing off Santa's cookies before he starts in on the gifts.

One of his favorite gifts was the movie Toy Story, so he got to watch it for the first time before we headed to one of our celebrations.

Christmas morning at Mark and Christa's was exciting for Charlie. He got his first sled!

While celebrating Christmas, Josh asked Charlie to be ring bearer in their wedding and Laura asked me to be her personal attendant! We are both so honored!

We celebrated with the Knutsons on Saturday. Here's the kid table!

 We celebrated with the Fredricksens on Sunday. Here's grandma Becky and Grandpa Buck with their grandsons.
 Someone was tired...

I wouldn't recommend planning to have a baby right around Christmas. It was exhausting and downright hectic, but we were sure blessed to be able to spend Christmas with our little William and our entire family!
