What a Christmas! We were all excited for Christmas this year. Femi understood the concept of presents and we talked a lot about Santa bringing presents. At his school they taught him some Christmas carols. I even went to see him perform his very first Christmas concert. I got some of it on tape, but the Flip camera that I borrowed from school died on me. I just pray that I can get the footage that I took off it. Deji's birthday is also on the Flip. Anyways we were all set for Santa, after Christmas Eve service (which was awesome) we set out cookies and milk for the big guy and reindeer food for the reindeer. Christmas morning comes and of course Femi is up bright and early, but he really surprised me by waiting for the sun to come up before opening presents.
It was actually nice all five of us in our bed just enjoying being together, before the frenzy started. We finally made it downstairs to open presents with Naiya when Ryan started throwing up in the middle of it. Poor guy had not been feeling well for a while. We go on without him, because once Femi started opening presents there was no stopping him. He opened every body's presents for them. Good thing Deji
was not into opening presents this year. After opening presents and trying out toys we went over aunty Lase's for breakfast without Ryan and came home for nap time
. I needed a nap also, but there is no rest for mothers. I check on Ryan and he was still sick as a dog. I had to go out and buy chicken noodle soup for him. Only three places were open on Christmas day. QT, Walgreens and CVS. It made it hard to find half and half that I need for my stuffing for Christmas dinner at Lase's later that evening. I didn't find any half and half so I thought I could use eggnog instead. Don't ask me why I thought that would work. Needless to say, my stuffing didn't turn out like I wanted. After nap mom and I packed up the kids again and headed back to Lase's where there were more presents for the boys. I ate until I was about to explode which was a good thing because the next day guess who got sick. Yep me, the indestructible one. I was hit really hard, I couldn't get out of bed, I had no appetite and my throat hurt. I thought it would go away in a day, but it didn't.
All I could do was nurse Adara and give her to Ryan right after. Thank God he was feeling much better. On Tuesday I finally decided to go and see a doctor and I was told I had Strep. I am on the mend, but feel so behind on this blog. I haven't even done Adara's three month photo shoot. Needless to say, this will be a Christmas to remember. At least the boys had a great time. They even got to go to the farm to see Grandma and Paw Paw Nilson, and of course open more presents. Next year will be even more exciting with Adara being one, Deji being three and Femi being four and a half. I can't wait.
