Christmas
Christmas Morning
Nick with his Stocking
Cody could fit in his!
Their BIG present.. a Wii. Look at all their faces. Shawn is smiling, Kyle's mouth is open, and even Nick is clapping!
We got a Wii about a year ago, played ot for a couple days, then we sold it. Ever since, the boys always ask , "Why did you sell the Wii?" So we're keeping this one!
Every time Nick opened a present he would go "Oooooooooohhhhhh!"
I got Ty a Matt Harpring jersey. Matt is our favorite Jazz player. He's so dreamy, Ty agrees with me on that!!!
Shawn opening a Wii game. They got a lot of Wii stuff.
Sorry, this is a double.
Nick opening a xylophone.
Christmas Dinner at the Luker's. This is Shawn with a cracker. It's an English tradition we've done forever. You crack it open and inside is a paper crown, a really dumb/cheap toy, and a British joke that is so lame! It's fun to read them though and have a good laugh! That's my Grandpa Luker in the back. He's 93 or 94 years old, somewhere around there.
Nick eating.
Kyle in his crown eating his corn and roll.
The main dining table. The rest of the family cramed into the living room. My parents house is just too small to hold us all!
We got a beautiful Thomas Kincade picture form my parents.
We had Jess's name for Xmas present. I got her a bag, earrings, and a rad BOP magazine. She totally loved it!
As you can tell from this picture! That's Jess and Steve's girlfriend, Ashlee.
So it was a great Christmas!!!

Croup Watch '09 Continues
Well, the croup bug has claimed it's last victim... Nick. After his nap today he has that hoarse voice and the cough. Tonight is going to be a fun one with him! Like last night with Cody, we had him sleeping upright in his carseat in our room by a humidifier. He woke up every hour and cried and whined and coughed and couldn't breathe. I took him into the cold garage and he would be able to breathe better and he would fall right back to sleep instantly. That is, until an hour later where we would do it all over again! This is crazy to have all 4 boys sick. Luckily Shawn is well enough to go to school.

Croup Watch '09 Update
Cody woke up with the cough this morning. Poor little thing whines all day in his little hoarse voice. It's sad. So 3 down, one to go. I am very surprised that Nick has not gotten it yet. He's the one that's been playing close with the older sick boys and even sharing straws. We'll see though when or if he gets it. We'll keep you updated!

Shawn's Illness Revealed
Shawn has Croup! Yay for Croup!!! Croup is the funnest illness there is! Yeah, all that wheezing at night and not being able to breathe is way fun. Staying up half the night looking in on your child to make sure they're okay is the best! And don't forget the beautiful "barking" cough that fills the air! So pretty! Oh, and the GREATEST part of it all........wondering when, not if, but when the other children are going to get it! Aren't you all jealous of the fun we're having at the Parkin house?!
Christmas Eve
We celebrate each Christmas Eve with Ty's side of the family.
This is McCall (my neice) and Cody. They were both dressed up in Holiday apparel and Sarah (my SIL) and I thought it was so fun to sit them together and take tons of pictures. McCall is about 5 months younger then Cody.
We make Santa's favorite cookies... No Bakes. They just happen to be Ty's favorite too! We set them out on a plate for Santa.
Doesn't everyone open pj's on Christmas Eve? Ty got me these stinkin' cute pink pj's. I got Ty some pj bottoms but they were way too big. ANd the boys LOVED their Star Wars the Clone Wars pj's.
Yay for jammies!
The kids wanted to take a picture of me and Ty kissing. So here we are goin in for it....
...and here we are during it! The boys were wondering why we ended up laying down.
Stockings were hung with care!
Waiting for Santa.
Here is a picture of our Ghetto Star. I stood on a tall stool to get that star on the top. It would not stay standing up! It took me about 5 mins to get it the way I wanted it to. My arms were tired! So it was standing straight up and then 10 mins later, Shawn was jumping around and this is what happened to it. It fell over. I kept asking Ty to straighten it but he never did.
Here is a full view. Notice that it is only decorated half way up. This is because Nick would destroy the decorations if he could reach them. And I only put on about a fourth of the ornaments we usually have. I was sick when we finally put it up on the 14th and just didn't want to bother with it.
