We decided to do gifts before food and all three little boys had a blast tearing through their pile of presents. We saved Colton’s to take home to him later. He & Cory even called about them a couple times – seems that even though he wasn’t feeling good he was still worried about us getting him his presents back home for him as soon as possible.
We had a yummy dinner of honey ham (baked by me & cut by my hubby on Christmas Eve – first time ever & it was a success!), chicken noodle soup & more! My mom had even made a birthday cake (a request by my two boys!) for Jesus – chocolate cake with chocolate frosting…delicious!
We cut our evening a little short & took plenty of to-go boxes of food to share with the boys who had to stay at home. I wanted to enjoy a little family time at home before bed.
When we got home, Colton was excited to see what Wyatt had got and to open his own presents. A doctor’s kit, Jake movie, play money, police dress-up uniform, Match car ramp and a couple games were the favorites. Colton was in better spirits than he had been earlier in the day but ended up getting sick one more time before bed.
Both boys went down for bed without a peep while Cory & I crashed on the couch after a long day.
I figured it might be a long night ahead of us but that was the end of Colton getting sick – we all had a long, peaceful night’s sleep…which was much needed!
Despite a few hiccups, we had a great & blessed Christmas.
