We had a JOYFUL Christmas as you can see here:
~And 2 year replacement warranties are MADE for mommies! (especially when they brake after 30 minutes!)
We enjoyed the Christmas Eve candle light service last night and then Carlos spent the night with us which always multiplies the fun!
After lots of present opening fun and breakfast, we worked on the new web cam. We are planning to Skype with all the California family we can 2011.
Then it was off to see Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Not as good as the book but what movies are? Still very enjoyable.
Yesterday Joy showed us a spider bite or a bug bite of some kind that looked like it might be infected. We were going to see a doctor on Monday, but then realized it couldn't wait. The area around it was hot, red, hard and spreading (softball size)and after the movie she had a high fever! : (
So, then it was off to After Hours Urgent Care where there were lots of sick, crying babies on Christmas. We had quite a wait and she fell asleep on the table watching UP. Then they stuck the bite and squeezed it!!!!! Which equaled AGONY for poor Joy, otherwise known as "taking a culture sample." We asked our brave girl what we could do her for her after having to endure this on Christmas and she said a new stuffed animal would help. : )
When it was all over, Daddy and Carlos made sure she had the biggest teddy bear that they could find.
And not just one,
but two!
She fell asleep shortly after while she and I were listening to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, on tape. A family favorite! (boy, do those "Herdmanns" stress me out) lol
In the mean time, this sweet guy
cooked our Christmas dinner for us and saved the day! Thanks Zac! You're my Christmas hero!We had a chocolate cheesecake for dessert which was a first for me and it turned out rather flat but yummy. Now that I own my first spring form pan, I can't wait to try making lots more recipes!
Joy is sleeping and all my guys are watching some violent xmen-wolverine thing! lol
-Not my idea of a Christmas movie! ; ) I think I'm going to call it a day.
Good night and I hope yours was merry too!
