This has been a nice, quiet Christmas. Alayna came home from school on Tuesday under the weather. She didn't care that Santa was thinking about coming, she just wanted to be left alone. She went from a 98 degree temperature to 102 degree temperature and a really deep cough. So, this made for a quiet night since most of her medicine knocks her out. She didn't like the one medicine Kristi gave her so she turn around and threw up. She has that part down pat - gags and then it is all up! Of course, that is the medicine that was working the best. Today she is feeling better, still have the cough but no fever. Yesterday, Christmas day she didn't even care about opening gifts - she looked like she didn't want to be here. We told her that we would wait until after she took a nap and she said no. But, as soon as we were done she was in bed.
I am not sure if the kids liked their "WOW" present this year. Tom and I paid their personal property tax to help them out. We thought that would be the most practical present since it is something they both needed. Brian got a lot of stuff for work like long underwear, gloves, and mugs for his hot chocolate. Kristi got several different pieces of jewelry and a new faucet for her bathroom. Mom got a lot of sewing stuff, a new faucet, and night gown and robe. Tom got jeans, socks, and lighthouses. I got a dash cover for Amy (my van) and a beautiful pendent with rubys which is Alayna's birthstone. I also got a shark to help clean the floor in the kitchen.
Alayna and I made 2 batches of cookies today and decorated them. I have to give some to a girl at work, we are taking some to Granny & Grandpapa's tomorrow, and mom is taking some to her friends. Tom cut a tree after have to make a run to Home Depot for a new chain saw. Alayna slept about 4 hours today - which is what she needed.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
