Christmas 2013

Well Christmas has come and gone.  It was good and bad all rolled into one.  Claire and I have been sick since the first week in December.  I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever get better, pneumonia is not fun.  :(

Christmas with Miles this year was great!  He was sooooo excited.  When we finally put him to bed, you could almost see him vibrating with excitement.  He had us up Christmas morning at 4:30.  Well actually, he had dad up at 4:30 and dad managed to hold him off till about 5:15.  Grace spent Christmas Eve at her mothers, she was being dropped off around 8:30, so we let Miles go ahead and open his gifts.  There was no way we would be able to make him wait.  It was actually good because he had our complete attention.  Then when Grace came later, she also had our undivided attention.  Worked out good for both kids.  :)   Renee, Michelle, Alex and Corey showed up just after lunch.  It was hectic because Leo was here, as were Duncan and Patty.  Corey was sick and hadn't slept much so he was irritable, not really interested in his gifts.  He loves his batman chair now though!  Good find Poppa!


It really was a nice Christmas.

Miles and I did the childrens pageant at church.  I'm really proud of him for doing it because I know he didn't really want to, great job Miles!  :)

Supper was nice, had all the kids plus Debbie and David.  Just the right amount of people.  And we also did Christmas Eve here with Debbie and David.  I think Claire was really pleased that we actually used the living room.  It was nice, fireplace going, really cozy.

Mom didn't come this year.  :(   Because of the broken foot, she wasn't able to drive.  I'll go up and get her, bring her down for a week, as soon as I start to feel better.  It will be a good visit, not Christmas crazy.

It was really nice..... Looking forward to next year!  With any luck I won't be sick.  2014 I will be taking vitamin c and getting a flu shot!
