I was actually feeling better Christmas day (probably because of the sleep), so I decided to go through all of the gifts and stuff from the hospital. It was piled in our room and driving me crazy. It felt so good to get all of that cleaned up, organized, and put away.
Grandma and Aunt Allie stopped by for a bit around lunch time. They wanted to see what the kids got from Santa. Grandpa planned to come, but he hurt his knee and wasn't up to leaving the house. After the kids showed them their presents, my mom gave us gifts from both sides of my family. Macie and Gavin each got a toy and two $5 bills. They were super excited and put the money in their banks right away. Brian and I raked in the gift cards! We now have a total of $135 to Red Lobster, Olive Garden, or Long Horn. It will be nice to use them throughout the year. We will need dates that don't cost us!
Once they left, the kids napped. Brian then gave me my Christmas present...he folded laundry:) We decided not to get each other gifts this year because Lilah was our big present. However, I was so happy that he helped get us caught up on all of the laundry. It was also piling up in our room.
For dinner, we had turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green beans. We had cookies for dessert. We were lucky enough that many people brought us cookies and sweets. Once again, we ate on our Christmas plates. The kids thought they were so special to eat on "big people" plates. I loved that we had a small dinner just the five of us.
After dinner, Aunt Katie and her friend Luke stopped by for a visit. She had some gifts for Macie and Gavin. She brought Lilah's to the hospital, but she wanted to see the other two. By the time Katie and Luke left, it was time for the kids to go to bed. Overall, we had a great Christmas day, but we weren't done yet! Brian's parents planned to stop by the next day and we are celebrating with my family on New Year's Eve.
