We spent the afternoon at grammy and grampy Gray's house. We had fun watching the kids play with new toy room toys and they each enjoyed getting these cute stuffed animals from the grandparents!
Eli and Brian were both sick on Christmas Eve. It only got worse by Christmas Day. By the end of the most anticipated day of the year, half our family was sick with the flu with Jackson joining the pack. Fevers, chills, and coughs. Zoey started complaining once again of a sore throat and a look at her tonsils showed them so swollen they were touching in the back! I'm saying many prayers that I don't get sick. I have a surgery scheduled for the 30th that I'm hopeful won't get cancelled from me being sick!! The stuffed animals turned out to be a great present because they've all been cuddled by sick kids these past few days.
We had bacon and eggs and waffles fro breakfast. It's not our traditional bread pudding, but none felt good enough to cook the traditional Christmas Eve roast or dessert, so we had no left overs :) I don't mind, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch this moment of Calvin sitting on our bacon! ha ha!
That afternoon, we had Christmas dinner at my parents house and played in the snow. The sickies all stayed home to sleep. It was hard to leave them. Jackson (who was feeling fine at this point) and Zoey had the time of their lives in the snow and sledding with grumpy on their hill. I'm glad we finally got snow. Just for Christmas! It's been unusually warm and dry this year, so this was a real treat!
Although we've endured some sickness, it's been a great season. The past couple of days have been looked forward to all year and it's been the best! Now that it's over, there's nothing to do but get prepared for my surgery. I'm starting to get scared for the 30th :(
