'Tis the season

We picked out our Christmas tree yesterday with the help of Janet and Kristi. They stopped by our place on their way back from Philly. We were thrilled to have the visitors and even kept Alice home from daycare on Friday so we could get a tree. Alice had a great time! Janet and Dana were very accommodating as Dana slept through the whole ordeal and Janet smiled happily.
Pretty pleased with our ability to have three kids and a christmas tree in the back of the van!
The last picture is from this morning. Dana was a little fussy so Alice kept bringing her toys while she was in the swing. Alice was even willing to share her doll!! She is becoming a GREAT big sister (with the small exception of wanting to "wake up Dana" everytime she gets bored). We're working on that one...

Dana's face is a little shiny in this picture due to her week of skin issues. She started to develop a slight rash on Monday and by Tuesday night her neck was really irritated. We had to wait until 4pm to see the doctor on Wednesday and by that point I was in tears. She was red and blotchy all over. Turns out it was a bad case of eczema so we've been on a steady routine of applying a special ointment twice a day and aquaphor in between. She is getting much better...phew...
