I wanted to name this post "Barfmas" because one of my kids did throw up in the middle of night on Christmas Eve around 11pm...Brian was up until 2 cleaning it up for the first round of cleaning! I woke up but held Esther who was inconsolable and unable to be put down.
The smell was terrible. I fell asleep around midnight and got up at 6am on Christmas Day and did a thorough sanitation clean of the hallway, walls, and bathroom. Then I showered (thankfully Esther slept in and allowed all this cleaning) and started on a Christmas breakfast of fresh biscuits, sausage and eggs. It was delicious, even though this diabetic mom skipped the biscuits she made from scratch. I was saving all my carbs for chocolate eating later!
The kids loved their stockings and after breakfast we opened the Big Presents. And then we had the rest of the day to play and rest and enjoy each other. My favorite Aunt came down again and blessed us all with her presence--she's wonderful and a joy to have around. I miss her already.
Becky got a play dough set from Reuben that she really likes. Reuben loved his Astrobot video game the most I think, and he also enjoyed the crochet Dino kit I bought him. Both kids got an electronics kit which they are very excited to work on with Daddy on the weekends. My Aunt gave Becky a make-your-own headband set that she loves and Reuben decorated his own mushroom terrarium! Oh, so many good memories. 2024 Christmas was not a bust. God always comes through, his ways are better then mine and his Glory always finds a way to shine though.
I've been playing Animal Crossing New Horizons like crazy. Anyone else play and want to island hop? I'll put my friend code in the next post, or leave yours in a comment or e-mail me at moonofsilver@gmail.com if you want to play along!
