Christmas....finally

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting about Christmas! Seems like it was forever ago already! Brianna and Miranda got to see Santa a few times, and Bri LOVES him. She was however very disappointed that he didn't bring her the gift she asked for 3 times! (I did all of her shopping early and decided not to grant her wish....though she's still upset about it) Maybe she'll get the doll she wanted for another holiday!

Miranda started Christmas morning out with a food reaction and was vomiting for about a half an hour. We waited for Bri to wake up, then took the girls downstairs and a towel for Panda to lay on. She only threw up one more time while opening presents and I was grateful not to end up in the ER on Christmas morning. Once it all gets out of her system she is just fine and normal (as long as she doesn't get too dehydrated and go into shock). She was happy as a clam that morning!

Our friend, Christy, spent the night on Christmas Eve and then stayed with us for Christmas Day. We really enjoyed having her there and it made not being able to go to Utah much more bearable! Bri was in heaven and was so happy for everyone with their gifts!

Later that day I hosted Chrismas dinner with 9 adults and 3 kids. We had 4 last minute guests, so I spent Christmas afternoon trying to find an open store to get enough food for everyone! I definitely was not planning on hosting Christmas dinner this year, but I really enjoyed it!

We had a wonderful time spending our first time home for Christmas (besides 2 years ago when I was pregnant and on "limited activity." I wasn't doing too well, and we ended up having Christmas dinner at Denny's that year! :( Glad this year was different!

We feel so very blessed!
