A not very merry Christmas for Knox

I know it is just part of the deal when you have boys to have them always get hurt, but man...We have averaged an emergency room visit every six months.  Knox was there four months ago.  It started with Holden swallowing a thumbtack when he was little.  We didn't know he did, we just knew he was choking.  The x-ray was the funniest thing every, it looked like a cartoon.  There was just the most perfect little thumbtack floating in his belly.  And yes he had to poop it out (I kept it)  But we were at our ward party which we both really needed to be there!!! But we have a great ward.  Someone slammed his little finger in the door.  Rye said he had to tear his finger off the hinge.  The door completely shut!  The picture does it no justice.  From the cut down was flat.  But he was fine.  The PA met us at the clinic and tried to make it as easy as possible on the poor little guy, he was in so much pain =(  He decided not to stitch around his finger and just glued and the x-ray looked ok, thank heavens for moldable little baby fingers.   His joints were not even formed yet.  They were only really concerned with his ligaments but he is moving it fine, just mainly sad!
Oh, and I might add this was the second trip for him to see the dr that day!! SAD.
I had my camera to take pictures of santa but got these instead.
Rye kept looking like he was going to cry. 
 I am always the one to take them in, so it was no big deal for me, haha!
 look at that sad swollen face.
 When we got home I layed him on the couch, and went to get his jammies and came back and he was out!
 Rye tried to change him and he was so exhausted he would just keep turning around into the stinkbug!
Holden with santa, someone emailed this to me, happy guy!  We have such a geat ward They took care of him for us.
Rather then that,  things are good.  Thank Heavens for pinterest I got all my gift ideas from there and am done.  Made about two dozen of these bad boys!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
