Kaylie's 2nd Christmas

This year was so much fun! The first year Jason and I were married we started our own tradition of celebrating with each other before we went to Austin. We decided to do this with Kaylie as well until she is truly old enough to know what Santa is. We ended up having our dinner on Monday night and then opened presents with her on Tuesday. Surprisingly, she loved opening presents. She wanted to open up everything and once opened she would sport the biggest smile. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

After seeing all of her reactions, Jason and I would have to say her favorite gift from us was her new dolly. She had only opened it halfway before she started smiling. Once it was open she leaned down and kissed her without any cuing. It was so incredibly sweet.

Considering the past few Christmas we were hoping this would be the year Kaylie's Christmas curse was broken. For those who didn't know we thought we had miscarried her on Christmas Eve two years ago and then she had RSV last year. On Monday she had been put on antibiotics for a sinus infection so we were pretty sure we were in the clear. 30 minutes outside of Austin she started coughing non-stop. On Christmas Eve it was constant. Since her Advair and Xopenex were not helping we ended up borrowing my nephews nebulizer and adding the third heavy duty medicine called pulmocort. Thankfully, she woke up 10X's better Christmas morning. For awhile we thought we would be taking another visit to the emergency room. Considering we made it through I think she has officially broken the curse.
