Christmas has come and gone. My Christmas decorations have been carefully packed away again, and I have no idea where Christmas went.
We were all sick for Christmas. Emma was really sick on the Friday before Christmas. She had a temp, was really fussy, and didn't feel good, so I stayed home with her. Well, then she got me sick of course, and eventually we got John sick as well.
Saturday, December 22, we went to Mankato to see Rachel's house she bought and have Christmas with my family. It was a pretty good time, and Emma got spoiled with a bunch of gifts.
My big gift was a baby bullet, so I can make my own baby food. I actually tried it out today, and I think I am really going to enjoy using that thing.
John's main gift was some baby gates for us to install on our stairs to prevent Emma from taking a tumble. And they are currently installed on our stairwell.
Sunday we had a Christmas on my mom's side of the family. I had to work Christmas Eve, and then we had Christmas on Christmas Day at John's parents' house. This is the day that all three of us felt like crap. We were pretty lethargic and had bad colds. We had enough energy to eat and then open presents, and after that we pretty much sat around for a while until we went home and slept. So needless to say, we didn't have a very exciting Christmas. But, tis the season for all that fun stuff.
Yesterday was our last Christmas for the season. We went to Brookings to celebrates with John's mom's side of the family. We were feeling a lot better by yesterday, so this Christmas was a little more enjoyable.
I love Christmastime, and I was pretty bummed to be feeling so crummy for the Holiday Season. I didn't even go to church on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and I don't know the last time that has happened.
Overall, it was a good Christmas. Emma enjoyed ripping the wrapping paper off her gifts and playing with her new toys. I enjoyed seeing all the extended family that we don't get to see very often. So, really I have nothing to complain about.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year!!!
