Where to begin?!?! I guess the beginning would be good. On Christmas Eve I get a phone call from Easton's nurse telling me his test results from earlier in the week. He was sick with a runny nose and a mild cough. So they did a test for whooping cough. His doctor thought it was a sinus infection so put him on antibiotics and sent us on our way. Well, the nurse told us that the test came back positive and he was carrying whooping cough. So they sent a new prescription to the store. I gathered him up and picked it up. Well needless to say that it was x-mas eve and we celebrate with James side on that day. So due to many elderly and pregnant people others and us thought it was best if we did not share Easton's germs. And after talking it over James and I (and the dr) decided that since he was on antibiotics for over 2 weeks it would be okay to go to church. The doctor said that there is no way to treat whooping cough the antibiotics really help Easton more than anything. But weather or not any one thought it was good for us to go to church we Easton and I went and celebrated with our family and friends at church. Mass was very nice and fun. Every x-mas mass people are suppose to bring bells and help ring them during songs. Well Easton had a blast! After mass we went home and ate dinner then set out the cookies for santa and a carrot for the reindeer's.
Waking up on Christmas day was nice. We did not rush we opened up presents as a family and Easton had fun playing with his new toys. But this Christmas it was a little different, but very nice. For as long as I can remember we have always had Christmas at my parent's house or my Aunt Nancy's.But due to all of our families growing we decided to have Christmas dinner with my brother, his wife, mom, dad, James, Easton, and myself. We opened up present at my parents house. I can't believe how much easton received from cars, a chair just his size, to DVD players for both cars, it was great. Santa gave us laundry soap, toliet paper(the good kind), tupperware, razors, shaving cream, soaps, gift card, and much much more. Its amazing how he knows exactly what we needed. Good thing we didn't go shopping that week to get all those supplies..hehe. After eating we went to my aunts house to do our family tradition grab bag. It was sooo much fun. good times and funny stories. It's amazing how family can make you smile :) After all that we had dessert. And not just any dessert but a DeFyn/Zak/Hicks dessert. I'm talking about 2 cakes, 3 pies, cookies, gingerbread house, a big Mrs. Field's cookie, ice cream, and probably more that I am forgetting. Finally we went home and went straight to bed.
