Xmas Eve- started out normal. Everyone was in good spirits and ready to go to uncle E and aunt K's house for presents with gmom J and all of aunt K's family who all buy presents for the kids as well. We were hauling all gmom J's gifts for the boys since she has them delivered to us so I get to wrap them! The weather was unseasonably warm and it ended up taking longer than usual. Big guy who had been having a great day so far said he didn't feel good when we got there. Cue falling asleep on couch under a bunch of blankets. Something was seriously wrong. He never naps! Anywho, we let him rest while adults ate the huge amount of yummy food. Upon waking up he slid off the couch. I took one look at him and had hubs rush him to the bathroom. Cue puking all over the bathroom floor! Oh no! Then we were cleaning and packing up to go home. Puking all over someone's bathroom is a direct get out of their house! Long story to short- we deduced he had gotten car sick. When we got home his belly got upset again and he went potty but then he felt fine. We opened a few gifts and took it easy.
Xmas Eve- feeling better
Xmas Morning
The Boys
Xmas morning- everyone woke up feeling good! We opened presents, to which there were even more than usual bc we only let big guy open a few the night before. Big guy got a lot of stuff! Mostly good and useable. Little man opened his gifts from the family, as we didn't get him anything! I know. But for big guys first Xmas, he got a new book. It's just not necessary this year bc he got much from everyone else. No big Xmas breakfast much to hubs and my sadness but we had a nice dinner and we let big guy play and nurse the tender belly. Around 11am we skyped with gmom Dino and pop pop. Where she unleashed 14 presents for big guy and 8 for little man. Whew. Even I was overwhelmed. Out living room floor at this point looked like a rainbow explosion of plastic! Big guy got some awesome stuff from Dino, cool board games and stuff he had actually asked for. Little man got lots of fun stuff to play with while sitting up and oh yeah, he mastered that skill that day as well.
Day after Xmas- we went over to gmom C, grandpa and uncle I's house for more presents! It was a short but productive visit. We didn't do adult gifts with them this year but they did renew our longwood gardens membership! Which is all I ask for anyway.
Following the present opening, we still had a whole 9 days off for break. We hung out, we ate lots of yummy food, we went to the aquarium, which was a gift to the family bc I got it discounted for a year membership through AAA! But I'll talk about that in a later post. We had a family friend come for dinner and she brought big guy moon sand- which is all the rage now. It was a really great holiday and break. I'm so excited to watch the boys get older and see them enjoying holidays. Next up is big guy's bday- two parties this year- family and with his class. Keep up with us, we are not slowing down anytime soon!
