The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Monday we had a nice day at home. It was our first day home without activities in a while. I worked on cleaning the house to prepare for Christmas Day. Monday evening, I went to dinner with my friend from Texas who is here to visit family for Christmas. We also ran to Target to get some last minute items for the kids. And then we stood in the cold talking for about an hour. Tuesday was Christmas Eve of course. Again, we didn't have plans on this day. Husband had to work half a day, but he was feeling crummy and took a nap when he got off work. I finished the house cleaning that I wanted to do. Christmas Eve my parents also came over to help us put together the trampoline which was our kids big gift from Santa. They all ask for one and we wanted it built for them to wake up to. It was about 35 degrees while we were building. And I was terrified someone was going to wake up. Thankfully, I had done all my wrapping already and only had to bring presents to the living room and fix stockings. We got in bed about 1 am. Christmas Day was probably the best Christmas we've had. The kids were so good. They took turns opening presents really nicely. They all seemed happy and satisfied with what they got--even though I cut back a little bit compared to the year before (minus the trampoline). My parents and Husband's mom came over to lunch on Christmas day. The day after Christmas the kids spent a lof of time jumping on the trampoline. Husband was back to work. And I spent a large portion of the day being lazy and reading. I've gotten a lot of reading done lately, but I NEED to be prepping blog posts for the end of the year and writing book reviews since I'm so far behind. Thursday afternoon, Husband's mom came over to see Big Girl on her new roller skates and she tripped going out of our garage and fell. She fractured her knee just below where she's had her knee replacement done. Husband took her to the ER which was packed. And he didn't get home until about 2 am. Friday, he was still feeling crummy. Work gave him the day off since he had extra PTO and he'd been up so late the night before. He slept most of the day. I actually slept a good bit too. I'd stayed up until midnight waiting for a diagnosis on his mom. Then Little Boy woke right before 2 am. He's been scared of the dark lately. And he proceeded to get up two more times after that. We checked in on his mom Friday evening--his sister came from Georgia Thursday night so she wouldn't have to spend the night alone. Saturday, we had our family Christmas with his side of the family. I feel terrible for his mom, but we had a great day regardless.
