Theo has happy holidays

Actually, he got pretty sick at Christmas time. We all did. Mom got so sick that she cancelled two interviews, and now she is trying to figure out how to make them up.



Theo loved the Christmas tree, and he didn't even notice that there was hardly anything under it. I wonder how long it'll be that way. We got a lot of bell ornaments that made nice sounds, so we put them low on the tree so Theo could ring them.

We went to Florida to visit Pap and Nan, Uncle Tim and Aunt Joyce, Grandma and Grampy, Geoff and Steph, and Aunt Sheila and Uncle Jon. Theo was sick pretty much the whole time. We didn't get any pictures because 1.) we forgot our camera and 2.) Theo was so grumpy that we probably wouldn't have been able to get any pleasant pictures anyway. I feel like everytime we've had a chance to travel to see Grandma and Grampy, Theo has acted totally weird the entire time. I wonder if they even believe me anymore when I explain that Theo is not normally a whiny, clingy kid!

After we got back, we had to remove the Christmas tree right away because it went for a long while without getting watered. Thankfully, it retained its needles pretty well. After we cleaned it up and Dad vacuumed, Theo said, "Dad, did you clean up the Christmas dirt?"
