I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Our was good. We opened gifts at home on the Friday before Christmas, because this was the only night I was off that week. The kids had a great Christmas at home, but were much more excited by the trip to my Mom's. We left for her house on the night of the 23rd after I got off work, and arrived early the next morning. The kids were so excited to see Grandma and Happy as we arrived. G was most excited by the fact that Grandma and Happy have 3 cats, which he loves to chase around the very unchild friendly house. LOL We spent Christmas eve with my family, this year we agreed that we would only buy for our immediate family, so this Christmas was much less cauous than previous Christmas'. It was so nice to see all the family. The visit also included hubby's dad and his girlfriend, and hubby's grandma. The kids were very excited to see Grandpa G. They were a little sad that although they could see all the gifts under the tree they would have to wait until Christmas morning to open them, since in previous years we opened on Christmas Eve. So we ate then they went for a visit to Grandpa G's while Happy and I prepared Santa gifts. Then we were off to the hotel to sleep and await Santa. The next morning, we got up and headed back to Grandma;s to see what great gifts Santa had left for everyone. H got a new scooter, some bratz dolls, a new Hello Kitty CD player, a Jonas Brothers CD, and a Hannah Montana Guitar. L got a new My little Pony bike, two helmet sets to match, and some Bratz dolls. G got a new Thomas train set, some new trains, and a new Thomas writing board. They weer so excited. Then on to the presents from Grandma and Happy. H got a new computer, she was so excited and that has been all she has talked about since. She also got new clothes. G and L got new clothes and new toys, and were both excited as well. We then sent the day again with family and friends. It was nice to get to see everyone. I only wish we got to do it more often. My mom was ever so generous with us this year as well, she bought us clothes and a new TV a 48" vizio, we were so excited. We are truly blessed with great family. My mom also gave step son a new tv for his room so he was as excited. Hubby bought him a car a 2005 Talon, right now it is in pieces and needs work, but it will be nice for them to fix it up together and then he will have a cool car hopefully it will be finished by march when he turns 16. So I would say he had a great Christmas as well.
New Years, we spent at home hubby and I and H, L, and G. Step son is at his moms and will not be home until tomorrow. I bought plastic champagne glasses, and let the kids toast the new year with some juice, they were so excited. We all danced and watched the ball drop it was great.
Now for the other non holiday related stuff. I took G back to the allergist and the GI Dr's on the 23rd. He is now being tested for Celiac, and they are also testing his vitamin levels to make sure he is getting enough, I have not heard any results yet but hopefully by Monday I will hear something or I will have to call them. We are going on the 19th for a milk challenge they will give him little amounts of milk and see what kind of reaction he has to it. I am so hopeful that he will have no reaction at all and that the milk allergy is gone. I will keep ya posted on how it goes. Please pray for little G and all these test he is having. Pray that Celiac is not the cause of some of his issues. This would be bad to add to a milk and egg and nut allergy. No gluten as well. What would the poor kid eat?
L has been her normal self so full of life and curiosity, but we haven't had any major incidents lately, not anything we couldn't deal with.
H is doing well in school and although she has the attitude of a 16 year old she is a great little girl. LOL
I have been working alot with the holidays, and next week is inventory then everything should get back to normal.
Hubby is still enjoying his job here and really likes the people he works with so that is a great improvement over the company in Knoxville. I still really miss Knoxville but am glad he is happier here.
Well I guess that is all for my update tonight I will close with some Christmas pictures. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come........................
