Catch up-Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was very nice. We spent the 24th together and late in the day Anthony's mom and grandma came up to spend the evening and be here to see x-mas morning.

To really explain this story though you need to know how the week prior went. December 22nd at about 11 pm Camryn woke up with the stomach flu. She was sick all night with the frequency increasing by 2 am. She and I headed to the ER about 3am when it turned to blood she was vomiting. After a quick IV, Blood work and some x-rays we waited in our room till we were released at about 7:00am. Diagnosis a stomach bug and a esophageal tear from the force of the constant sickness. POOR GIRL! She and I spent the 23rd recovering and she was doing pretty well by the time Christmas Eve came around.
So back to 12/24... We went out for dinner and then drove around to see the Luminarias and lovely light up houses. We arrived home just in time to listen to The Night Before Christmas and open one gift each!

the little ones got snuggled in their bed and had all the obilgatory visions while the big kids went to work.

We settled down for what we hoped to be a long winter nap and I was awoken with my fiurst gift.

Camryn had graciously shared her stomach bug with me..the rest of the early morning hours and Christmas morning were all quite a blur for me but these pictures are proof I was present!

Santa was good to us all and we are still enjyoing the toys we recieved so I think that means it was a success!
