Between illnesses and work on the basement bathroom we squeezed tree shopping in finally. We're working backwards here so starting with the finished product. And it lasted until Christmas which is a big step up from last year's tree. I was also excited that their Christmas PJ's from last year still fit!
Aliyah had a Christmas party at her school, the kids had fun of course!
Between coughs, fevers, sinus infections, bronchitis, and stomach bugs, we didn't make it to see Santa until Christmas Eve. Just in time and he did pretty good giving them things from their list so last minute!
Later Christmas Eve the kids and I headed to my mom's (Nate has hone sick with upset stomach and fever). We got through gifts, canned soup for dinner and then I started with the bug and didn't even make it to church. Luckily the kids were better by then so my mom took them. They looked so cute (Max hadn't gotten to wear his Christmas outfit to church on Christmas Sunday since he was sick that day!)
While Nate and I were both, literally and figuratively spent over all the sicknesses, the kids were over the stomach bug (which luckily passed quickly for me too) so we couldn't give up and nix Christmas this year. The kids were of course so excited and how can the magical excitement of Christmas eve smiles not make you happy!
