Christmas Fun!

Our Christmas break started off with me getting sick and then both the kids. I was in bed except to feed the kids for three days. I felt bad that everyone ended up sick. We all went to the doctor and the medicine started working. By Christmas Eve we were all starting to feel better. We made Christmas cookies and both kids picked one to leave for Santa. We went to Christmas Eve service and enjoyed all the wonderful Christmas Carols. Nathan got to stay with me in the regular service and he seemed very intreged by the big screens and musicians. He was very good and said he really enjoyed everything. After dinner we read the Christmas Story from Luke and the Night Before Christmas. Both kids wanted to get in bed early so Santa could come. It seems our coughs return the strongest when we get in bed. It was very late when they finally fell asleep. On Christmas morning I had to wake them both up at 9:00 a.m. I didn't think they were ever going to get up. I'm not sure they remembered what day it was at first but once reminded they started moving. After all the presents were unwrapped and Santa gifts were discovered they were both very happy. Shay stopped one time and just said a quick pray thanking God and Santa for all she had received.
We spent Christmas day with friends and had a great time.
