Sad to hear that so many people have been sick! We've been pretty lucky this winter being sick with not much more than the common cold (knock on wood!!). Maybe it's because it's so warm here, although we did finally have to turn out heater on at night a few weeks ago.
We had a good Christmas Eve and Christmas even though we missed being with our extended family. We all received fun gifts and enjoyed our traditional new pj's on Christmas Eve and Cinnamon Rolls on Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve, Taylor asked if it was okay if they woke up really early the next morning. We didn't want to be up too early, so we told them they could come wake us up anytime after 6. Guess who was the first one up??? Yep- Tyler!! (and no- that's not a typo!) He was up at about 5:45 anxious to get things started :) After discovering what Santa had left and taking turns opening the rest of the gifts, we spent the rest of the morning playing, talking on the phone, face-timing with Grandma and Aunt Mel and cleaning up all the wrapping paper. This year we made sure our camera was in a safe place before hauling out the trash though.
We had our sweet neighbor-lady over for Christmas dinner. She brought cute little gifts for everyone and even with all the craziness our boys have to offer, I think she really enjoyed herself. She only has one son (who's a heroin addict) and one grandson (who lives in Hawaii), so she doesn't get to spend much time with family. We were glad she accepted our invitation to come over :)
So far Winter Break has been good. We've gotten a lot done around the house and my pre-natal appointments are now every two weeks! Only 10 1/2 more weeks until our little Spider Rider is here :)
Hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year!!
