Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! The Mears family made it back to Maryland from our Midwest trip home for the holidays. We had a good time visiting family in Indiana and Michigan. I have quite a few pictures to muddle through, but I thought I'd post a few from our trip. Here is Evan in one of his cute Christmas outfits, hanging out with Mommy... Evan had a lot of fun with the Christmas holiday. He got new PJs to wear on Christmas Eve for when Santa visited Grandma's house. On Christmas morning, Evan awoke to a stocking full of goodies! Even though the Chicago Bears didn't do very well this year (Super Bowl Curse!), Evan, Daddy, and Mommy still got lots of awesome Bears gear to cheer them on in the off season and next year. Daddy and Evan model some of their new stuff... Evan did really well opening his presents. At first he was a bit unsure of what to do...just pounding on the box seemed fun! But his sister, Daisy, was very eager to show him how to tear into packages. Evan got the hang of it quickly!Want some paper?

If it looks like Evan is not so thrilled in some of these pictures, he was happy but battling a nasty illness. He got diagnosed with bronchiolitis caused by RSV a day before we drove home. So he was sleeping a lot and had to have nebulizer treatments to clear his lungs. Poor fellow! But he's doing great now. His pediatrician check-up went well on Wednesday.

I have more pictures to share...hopefully I'll find time this weekend between packing up boxes to post more. Take care!
