Sniffles and Santa ...

Actually sniffles is a bit of a misnomer. It should really be insane hacking coughs accompanied by fever and ear ache. That's what we've been dealing with since Wednesday with the girls. Finally we dragged them to the doctor last night. The diagnosis: viral bronchitis for both, a full blown ear infection (complete with antibiotics) for Ran and a new inhaler for Maia (it seems her long lost asthma has decided to rear it's unwelcomed head again). Despite how grim that all sounds they were feeling significantly better today after a few doses of medication.

We were especially grateful for that since today was Santa day. First we had the kids' Christmas party at Mike's work including crafts, a clown, snacks, presents and the big guy in the red suit. He stuck around after the party and tonight he took up the rear in our town's annual Santa parade. We were joined by Auntie Shari and Uncle Wayne for dinner, hot chocolate and Santa spotting. It's been a long day and the little sickies are all tucked into bed. I will be off to join them shortly!

Mike, Auntie Shari, Ran & Maia

It was a fun night indeed despite the nasty weather.
