Snow Fun!!!

Once Lucas finally got a little better over the holiday season we decided to take him out to play in the snow a little bit. Below are some of the shots we got.
Doesn't he just look thrilled to be there. It was fun to play in the snow though, that is the first white Christmas I have had since high school.
Oh...and since a lot of you have wondered, the shot he had a reaction to was the PCV7. He has had it before and had no problems, but it just didn't sit right this last time.

Christmas 2008

This year we were spending Christmas in Eagle Valley with my parents but we were able to go down to Vegas a few days before to have Christmas with the Thorley side of the family. It was lots of fun and it was fun for Lucas to see his cousins Alysson and Carson. Thanks to Aunt Tina for the pictures because I was woefully unprepared.

Now some of you may notice that Lucas isn't looking particularly...umm...peppy in these pictures. Well he had a vaccine the day before and ended up having a horrible reaction to it. The pictures above are when his is still feeling pretty good. He spent Christmas day with a 102 degree fever and this lovely rash.

It actually got quite a bit worse the next day but I didn't take any pictures. Luckily Aunt Teah was prepared with the Benadryl and Uncle Scott who is a doctor was there for medical advice. I don't know what I would do without all these medical professionals in my family. Thanks Teah and Scott!!!

Now onto the fun Christmas pictures. It was great for Lucas to be able to see Drew and Dylan. Lucas and Drew are going to be a force when they are old enough to work as a team.

We also have a lot of fun pictures of Lucas in the snow which I will post in a couple of days. This is already a terrifically long post. All in all not the ideal 1st Christmas I was shooting for with Lucas (what with being sick and all) but good one all the same.
