For the past year I have been trying to find a cure for my 2 year old’s bumpy skin.  I finally broke down and took her to a dermatologist to find out what was the cause.  According to the doctor she has a condition known as keratosis pilaris.

This definitely was a Christmas to remember.  You would have thought 6 kids lived here instead of just 2 with all the toys laying around my house Christmas evening!  The kids (and us) were overwhelmed with all the new stuff.
