Christmas 2011- A Christmas to Remember

Yes, Christmas 2011 will be remembered for years to come.
It will forever be knows as: The Norris Family is Sick so Stay Away from Them Christmas!
Dan started feeling sick the day before we left for Utah.
It only got worse from there...
Dan didn't get out of bed for almost 3 days.
Then the baby got it.
Then there was a brief period of a slight recovery...
Then Kallie got the pukies, then the baby, then Dan slept all night on the bathroom floor.
It was a HORRIBLE cycle!
We should have just gone home, but we kept thinking we'd get better.
Then when we did get home...Syd started puking and missed 2 days of school.
Now my parents and I are all sick
AND
Dan pulled my wisdom teeth Thurs so I can't really tell what part of me is hurting.
Thank goodness for Ibuprofen!

Anyway...
I did get some pictures despite all of the above.
So sorry to the Norris Family that we missed a lot of the festivities and I (for some reason)
didn't get my camera out for the ones we were there for. We love you I promise!

This picture is a few weeks before Christmas as Dan's office Christmas Dinner.
Front- Luz (Front Desk) Next to Dan- Cheri (Assistant)
Both of which I appreciate more than ever after my surgery this week.
Cheri took such good care of me and Luz kept Avery happy the whole time.

I wish I was there to take care of you after getting your wisdome teeth pulled. I'm sorry! I hope you are all getting better. By the way, it made me laugh that Dan's clothes were packed in a cooler.

Sorry about the sickness! That is not fun. But at least you were able to be with lots of family. :)
