It did not, however, start as we would have liked. Taylor spiked her first high fever and has her first ear infection. Other than being sick once during the summer, this is only the second time we have had to take her to the doctor because she doesn't feel well - and I am grateful for that. Taylor's "aunt" Liz and uncle Chris came to take care of Taylor while Ryan and I both had to work Friday morning. It was very hard to leave her when she wasn't feeling well, but we knew she would be in good hands, and was being cozily snuggled by Liz when we got home. Hopefully after 10 days of antibiotics (Amoxicillin - just the smell of that pink stuff brought back memories of when I was a kid!), some eardrops, and children's motrin, Taylor will be back to herself soon! She was already looking better this morning, but is still really sleepy - and has only been awake for about a half hour so far this morning.

Snuggles with grandma mem
After we got Taylor all her medicine, we tucked our sleepy girl into her car seat, and headed to my parent's house for a short visit and some Christmas cookie baking. One of my favorite holiday traditions is baking Christmas cookies with my mom - all the mixing, shaping, cookie cutting, icing, powder sugar dusting, and sprinkling is something I can remember doing lots of years just before Christmas. Next year, maybe Taylor will be able to help with the sprinkling and decorating, this year she just played with the cookie cutters. :-)

Speedo found his favorite spot to watch all the action...
Less than a week until Christmas!! :-D
Cute pics. Taylor will be like her old self in no time. And wow, I thought our cat could give some evil looks but that first one of Speedo? I fear for your lives. :)
