Christmas Day was spent at Gran's house and at Uncle Sherman's. Addi, Maddox, and Turner all had to rent trucks to get their presents home.

We were all up bright and early on Christmas morning. More because Turner was hungry than for any anticipation of opening gifts.
Santa was good. And he liked the cookies that Turner left for him.
Turner's big gift from Santa was a Bumbo seat that he hasn't fully enjoyed so far.

Addi also enjoyed the stairs. We cant wait to spend some more time with them over the next few weeks.
We were asked to help in a church production for Christmas, and since we had a young baby, guess who we were asked to play. Turner played his part perfectly. Actually the young children that were in attendance really had a good time as several church members took part in acting out the story of the first Christmas.
Behold our festive greenery.
Welcome to the Boone estate.
The holly bushes with their red berries create a holiday atmosphere. 
Oh bring us some figgy pudding.

We have a little elf infestation at our house. 
We recently had a big scare with poor little Chloe. As many of you know, she has severe epilepsy and will have major seizures every two to three weeks that will last several days. Typically we have been able to medicate her and pull her out of the seizure cycle. This past Friday she began to have a grand mal seizure which for her normally consists of two large seizures and a recovery time. Except this time, she kept having the larger seizures. We finally administered some valium to her that stopped the immediate seizures but over the next few days she kept having them and we couldnt break the cycle. We finally ran out of valium and didnt want to give her any more phenobarbitol and on Sunday she had seizure after seizure to the point where we needed to take her to the emergency room. By that time the seizures and the medicine had affected her so badly that she could barely move. But we got her in the car and to the emergency room where they took some blood samples and administered more medicine by IV. She stayed there overnight and only had one more seizure. We brought her home Monday morning and for two days she didnt move very much but on Tuesday afternoon we got her outside and she was able to walk around which always seems to be the best medicine for her. We were very frightened that once the medicine wore off she would start the grand mal seizures again, but we have been fortunate in that she has gotten back to her old self. She is feeling so well in fact that she is once again on the prowl for squirrels, strangers, and young boys. We don't know how much longer Chloe will be with us but we are happy for all the extra time we can get!
Turner has several items that he loves to look and smile at and to play with.
Turner really loves his magic swing. It helps him sleep multiple times a day.
Turner entertains himself for long periods of time with his playmat.
