Simpson's Journey

Other pictures that were taken this month.....

We headed up to Chicago this year for Christmas and Joe's parents flew in. We had a great time spending quality time with family!

Cameron was well enough to get out of the hospital and was able to surprise her class by showing up to school for a little bit to be a part of the class Christmas party!

We found out this year that Cameron has Ulcerative Colitis. This has been a tough journey for Cameron, for us as a family, and as parents especially because we can't take this away from her. This month alone, she went to the emergency room 3 times and was hospitalized for a week before Christmas.  We can't say enough about the support we got from family and friends! Our small group from church went far and above by coming to the hospital and visiting and praying for Cameron. My mom's group blessed us with a gas gift card and a grocery gift card and many prayers. The hospital staff were amazing and the Childrens hospital in Peoria, IL had lots of fun things for the kids to do during this season. They had a craft room where we could make ornaments.  Staff came around singing Christmas Carols  Base Ball players came and handed out book bags and toys Police officers also handed out toys What a great way to uplift these kids spirits who would have to stay i...

Michael's preschool puts on a Christmas program every year and Michael had a great time being a part of it.

Cameron did a project on her heritage where she had to choose one part of her heritage and do a report on it. Cameron choose to do it on Korea! She wore her Korean Hanbok for the presentation and did a marvelous job!

Celebrating one of Michael's friends birthday and we all had a great time! Then one of Cameron's friends had a birthday party and she has a blast!
