Christmas Cheer

Christmas has come and gone for another year. It was such a fun time, but also a very interesting holiday. Our entire family caught a terrible stomach flu on Tuesday and at least one of us was sick almost every day. Ian actually puked Christmas morning (that is why he isn't in his santa jammies), so needless to say, we were excited about Christmas but even more excited about the possibility of all being healthy again. Christmas Eve we went to Jeff's house for Mexican Christmas and it was awesome. The food was amazing and the boys were really good. Christmas morning the boys rode their bikes around the house for awhile and then Parker and Jeff got here around 9:30. We let the kids open their presents and then we had some brunch. Later the adults opened gifts and spent some time talking and playing with the kids. It was such a fun day and I loved watching Ryan and Ian and all the joy and excitement in their eyes. It was truly magical. Ryan had a little bit of a rough day, just being out of routine and also not feeling great, but he ended up okay and we were able to enjoy a nice family dinner. I got very spoiled by Greg (I am typing this on my new laptop)! We are looking forward to a fun new years in Bend.
