Christmas Time

This year we stayed off the roads and home for the holidays. Gotta say it was a nice treat. The week leading up to this fabulous holiday was an interesting one. Miranda managed to poke herself in the cornea, tearing it enough that a day through school wasn't an option. Off to the doctor and then a specialist...he said it wasn't all that bad. Does that mean we don't have to pay? JK I came down with a sinus infection (my first in quite some time). Then Shawn managed to partake in a McRib sandwich. The gout had something to say about that. Abby was a great little helper to us all. Miranda couldn't see, I couldn't smell, and Shawn couldn't walk. Good thing we didn't have a fire!

Every year Santa brings the girls new pajamas. This is to let them know he's in the neighborhood and it's time for bedtime. Off to bed...or at least we thought so, when Santa was a few steps from delivering all the packages under the tree, then here comes Abby. Apparently, Miranda was taking up too much room in her bed. That was close! Santa did his round and we caught him on the camera. Check it out in the Animoto video. Quite impressive!

It was fun to celebrate with Dianne, Shawn's mom this year. Sharing Christmas morning with kids is a treat (at least in my book). We are thankful for all the thoughtfulness that surrounds us each and every day!
