HANNAH AND MAKENA DECORATING GINGERBREAD COOKIES AT THE GRAND AMERICA HOTEL JDRF EVENT

HERE IS HANNAH AFTER THAT FIRST HUGE SNOW STORM!!

HERE'S MAKENA!!! TAYLOR WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE HUGE AMOUNT OF SNOW WE GOT THAT SHE HAD TO TAKE PICTURES!!!

HERE I AM.... THIS IS JUST DAYS BEFORE THE WORST
STREP EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I WOKE UP THE SATURDAY AFTER

THANKSGIVING NOT ABLE TO SWALLOW OR MOVE. I HAD THE CHILLS, THEN WAS COVERED IN SWEAT. I COULDN'T EVEN SIT UP MYSELF TO TAKE MEDICINE!!

LAURA SAVED MY LIFE BY TAKING ME TO THE DOCTORS. A FEW DAYS LATER MY THROAT WAS SO MUCH WORSE. DAN'S MOM TOOK ME BACK TO THE DOCTOR
AND HE SAID THAT THE STREP SORES HAD ULCERATED!!!! I AM NOW ON ANOTHER ANTIBIOTIC AND FEELING MUCH BETTER. NOW, 5 DAYS LATER I CAN ACTUALLY SWALLOW MY OWN SPIT!!! (I HAD TO SPIT IT OUT TWO DAYS AGO)

HERE WE ARE BACK AT THE GRAND AMERICA HOTEL. THEY HAD BEAUTIFUL GINGERBREAD HOUSES TO BID ON, GREAT HOT CHOCOLATE, CINNAMON ALMONDS, SCONES, PICTURES WITH A DARLING MR. & MRS. CLAUSE, LETTERS TO SANTA, AND DECORATING COOKIES. THERE WERE ALSO DECORATED WINDOWS LIKE ZCMI USED TO DO!!!
