Sick for Christmas

That's what Santa brought us early this year - sickness for the holidays :-( L woke up sick throughout the night and I got it too. S seems to be fighting it and unfortunately, Baby J is fighting something too. Daddy Piper is the only one who isn't worse for the wear. Sure made for a not very fun Christmas Eve but we did try to make the best of a cruddy situation. The kids and I have on our matching jammies (Daddy Piper declined to participate again!). Each person got to open one gift. L picked her Air Hogs and S picked his ornament from Peytie. Baby J "opened" his book from our good friends in MN - 5 little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed! Daddy Piper got his Ac/DC jam pants and I got a mother's ring. I got a very cool Mother's Ring - here is the link to the website. I LOVE it and love that is totally unique and without the gemstones like most have. We got the candy set out for Santa (no cookies this year so I was sick today) and an apple for the reindeer. We also read The Night Before Christmas in front of the fireplace with our matching jammies on. No picture since Daddy Piper was trying to console Baby J the whole time.

Daddy Piper just climbed on the roof pretending to be Santa - shaking his bells and jumping around. L wasn't too freaked but oh my gosh, S was nuts. He was so scared. He said "but we already have presents" when I explained that Santa was delivering presents. I hope he sleeps okay. We'll be up and at 'em early I am sure to open gifts. I remember being up at like 3 o'clock to open presents and then going back to sleep afterwards : -)

Off to get some rest while Baby J is sleeping!
