Liam's Christmas, take 3, part 2

As you can see, I was not making up the whole white Christmas thing. Yes, I get that there wasn't too much snow on the ground, but we enjoyed it all the same. We got bundled up and headed outside for some family fun.

Family shots are getting harder and harder. Liam just cannot stay focused or still long enough to get one accomplished! (The fact that my dad had to take the picture and Geoff was inside did not aid the attempt.)

In addition to the snow, Liam enjoyed opening gifts--he got a puzzle that spells out his name and a "What's Inside?" box from Mims and Grandfather, and a doggie pillow pet from Uncle Connor and Aunt Shannon. The great aunts and uncles (Betty and Jim Robey, Bobby and Kim Watson) gave a cute slide 'n learn Pooh book and some money. Sweet!

On Tuesday, Liam was not himself and was running a fever, so Nurse Judy (aka Mims) called in some favors to get Liam seen by the local docs. Guess what? Another ear infection AND strep were causing my poor little guy to be sick. We got some antibiotics, so with that and plenty of snuggle time, he began to feel better. Just look at that face!

We tried for a grandparents shot, but again, squirmy worm Liam refused to sit still for it. Here's one of the better pics.

Grandfather took a hint from the previous picture and started to play with Liam. Tickle time always brings out Liam's laughs, illness or no illness!

After a day on antibiotics, Liam was himself again and LOVED playing ball outside. Mims and Grandfather have such a fantastically big backyard for Liam to run and play in. He took full advantage.
