Where do I start? Our Christmas 2007 had both bad & wonderful moments....
Let's start with the bad....
apparently Anderson and Prednisone do not mix, for some reason it was prescribed to him for his cough (later learned he should NOT have had) ... at any rate, he ending up going thru some sort of psychosis. Needless to say, I have a brand new understanding for the term 'roid rage'. After going to the dr. 3 times in 3 days (including a trip to the CHKD ER), we departed for GA a couple days late. We drove straight thru making 4 stops and got there in 10 hours (which was amazing). The boys did great on the drive.
We arrived at my parents (Mimi & Poppi's)on Sunday nite and spent time with them thru Christmas afternoon. My brother Ryan and his wife Bree were there as well. Ryan has a Wii, so we all had fun playing with that....
this was my wii character - yes, some call me H-bomb
this was Mark's character - aka 'm-dawg'

After Christmas morning we headed to Mark's parents home in Macon. Cathy (Nana) made Carter the most precious quilt & sham from some 'hippopotamus' pottery barn fabric..... I love it !!!!! Carter of course loved the tissue paper!
Aunt Katie Beth, love this girl!!!
Paul's been laid up since having ACL surgery, so he spent much of the holiday 'laying down'. Here is Mark cuddling up to his twin.... how sweet ; )
When we are with cousins, Anderson gets to sleep with them. Here they are all snug in the bed! They are soooo good to Anderson.
The camera loves Carter!!!
go dawgs! sic 'em!
Our attempt at getting all the grandbabies together... Anderson not obliging...
the grandparents watched all the kids for us grown-up kids to enjoy a brief date-night together -it is so nice spending time with them without having every other word interupted!!

Great pictures - looks like such a fun time celebrating with all the family. I know Anderson loves his time with his cousings - those are the best. What a treat to have a triple date night, you have very sweet and brave in-laws!
Looks like you had a wonderful trip! I know those grandparents enjoyed having their grandbabies in town. I'm so sorry to hear about Anderson. Hunter had a similar episode about that same time on the same medicine. The dr. prescribed it for a cough; his behavior changed dramatically; we went back and they changed his meds. We won't be taking that again! Happy New Year!
Carter looks so grownup in these pictures!! Looks like a fun trip - Paul looks quite adult-like with his new beird!!! Can't wait to hear about the Prednazone stuff!! Awful!
Happy New Year Heather!! These are fabulous pictures, and it looks like ya'll had a super Christmas, for sure!! I had never heard of such a thing--Anderson & the cough meds...bless his heart!! I'm glad that he's okay now and that ya'll had such a great trip!! Can't wait to catch up soon!! :)
Great pics! Looks like fun. Sorry to hear about the Prednisone disaster:( I know how horrible that must have been. At least you made it down to GA for some quality family time:)
