well we had another fun christmas at the lud's!!!
pictures are all over the place but i am doing this with a baby in my arms so deal.
we went down to my parents house Christmas eve...we stopped at jason's sister tammy's house first for dinner and it was yummy!
My whole fam was able to be to my parents house it is always fun for us all to be together...started the night with treats then santa came by to give the kids their pjs...then some Christmas stories and put kids to bed.
Reddek woke up so excited to see what santa brought him...it was fun the fist year he has really got the whole santa thing. Him and jade had fun watching each other open their presents. My parents always give us way too much so we had tons of gifts to open too. By the end Reddek was so sick of opening presents jason had to open his last 5 gifts. i guess we know next year to cut down the gifts.
after presents we had yummy christmas breakfast...then Red wanted to go sledding so my dad and logan hooked up the sled to the four-wheeler. It was so fun Reddek loved it and loved going fast. Jason had surgery a week before christmas so he wasn't able to enjoy the fun stuff like sledding and packing the truck and changing diapers. But this Christmas I really enjoyed there is something about having a new little one right before the holidays...they make it special. I love my little family and am so glad we were able to spend the holidays together.
Reddek loves singing and playing his guitar...he knows almost all the christmas songs and would sit down and sing them at night to us...whenever i got the video camera out he would get to shy. He LOVES music!
my cute little rulon...doesn't get whats going on but he goes along for the ride and is a fun little guy to have around in our house. He doesn't fuss much and just loves getting hugs and kisses from red.
This is our little guy at the hospital...he got RSV and had to stay for 4 days.
Red came to visit...he was so excited to see his little brother as Jason and I were talking he climbed right up so he could see Rulon. I stayed with Rulon at the hospital and luckily we have great family around to help out with Reddek while Jason worked. It was a rough boring week for me...Reddek got spoiled and got to sleep with dad every night.
The first day we got there they had to give him an IV for antibiotics and to get him hydrated...I don't like to see them poke my baby so I went down stairs got some lunch met Jason and we went back up an hour later and they still hadn't found a good vein. He had been poked everywhere....his head both arms were spotted. They finally had to get the Nurse Manager to get the IV in. He was pretty mad by the end of that and then they had to suck him out! They stick about a foot long tub down his nose and suck out all his snot. By the end he wouldn't even cry he was so use to it:( poor kid. He is doing lots better:) Luckily we have aflac to help pay all these hospital bills....if anyone is planning on getting prego you really should talk to an Aflac agent...they have saved us on bills! We are glad our family is all back to normal...these little trials help remind us to love all the small things. We know we are so blessed and thankful for that. Poor Rulon has had a rough start hopefully he can stay healthy and we can't wait for the warm weather!!!
