  ...and its a Christmas miracle!! Ty (who has been waking up and screaming like he lost a limb every night for a week) cried it out! It only took 12 min and he had his head on the pillow the whole time. Now if only I could go back to sleep...

  This is the first year I've ever not done Christmas Eve & Christmas with my family. It's been nice not having DH complain about traveling and spending time with my family, but I do miss it. My parents came down and did our normal Christmas Eve last weekend, but I didn't get a tree and we had barbecue take out, so it was weird. I'm planning to make molasses cookies and Christmas tree pizzas today to try to get in the spirit a little. Both kids' Christmas Jammies are dirty, and I didn't bother doing laundry yesterday but kind of wish I had. We have stockings for the kids, so that will be fun, but we"ll do them after dinner because we're a night behind on Hannukah anyway.
  
  TL;DR- blah.

  By some Christmas miracle, Nora didn't get up until 8:30. Bennett is still asleep- it's like they don't know there are presents down here! My family should be here any minute- egg bake and French toast casserole are in the oven and pork is in the crock pot for lunch. We did it!!

  Merry Christmas everyone! I haven't kept up, nor will I today and tomorrow, but I did spy some adorable toddler pictures this morning. So happy everyone seems to be having a wonderful day. I'm the only one awake in my house, so I'm getting the last bits of breakfast ready. My mom came down with a nasty stomach bug night before last so our plan to spend yesterday, last night and today there went slightly awry. Thankfully when I spoke to her last night she was already feeling somewhat better and this morning she's seems much better. So we will head over there as soon as we open stockings to have breakfast and open the rest of the gifts. I offered to make and bring breakfast so that she could relax a little more this morning so we are going to have overnight French toast bake and Croque Madam toasties (found the recipe on Pinterest yesterday and they look so good). Turkey later today at her house and then we'll probably come home relatively early to get our sure-to-be-exhausted toddler to bed.

  So H and I officially pulled it off and hosted a kickass Christmas with less than one days notice. My family had a great time even though my mom had mto miss (she is still feeling crummy and well- it's the flu - I don't want her around Nora). Even my most cynical brother got me a thank you card for stepping up to host. I almost cried when I opened it (this is my older brother who basically spends all of his time teasing us or pretending we don't exist).
  
  Our house is a bit of a mess, but H and I decided we had done enough- and are just relaxing the rest of the night- the mess can wait til morning.
  
  Merry Christmas everyone!

  Merry Christmas! We had a nice time with family and are now watching the goonies. I'm trying to walk off all the desserts I've been eating but at the same time all I can think about are the thank you notes I have to write and how I want to eat another brownie. The cozy coupe was the big hit at this house!

  We had a good two days of holiday events. My body is so sore though from having to hold Cal. He is scared of dogs and each place we went had a few dogs. We also had him out past his bed time last night so he was super clingy. I am totally sneaking out for a pedicure tomorrow just for the massage chair!

  So A has really struggled all day just being irritable, coughing and started pulling at her ears. So where did we end up tonight...the ER. She just looked like she felt miserable past the regular cough and fever. Ear infection. That's going to be a nice bill in the mail but worth it if makes her better
  
  I just don't understand why a toddler gets a cough, fever etc and pedi's tell you there's nothing you can do besides OTC. It just gets worse and turns into infection and then they treat it!! Frustrating!!

  I woke up with a sore throat this morning and though maybe it was just from the dry air. Nope. My throat is still sore and now I'm congested. I just got over a cold!

  KJ loves her mini school bus and Duplo blocks. The school bus prompted lots of singing the people on the bus. She seems to like the little people too. She kept opening the book of prayers we gave her and kept saying "amen."
  
  
  
  
  
  It's been a long day of hosting with my ILs and people are still here. We have so much food. I have no idea how we will ever pack it all up and when it will get eaten. I'm so tired....

  She did love her toys and had fun opening everything. I think she might break the LP farm though. She's pretty pissed that the chicken isn't removable.

  Oh no! What happened?

  She's had a fever and ear infection since Monday. We had thought she was getting better but then She didn't sleep much on Christmas Eve night and was super unhappy For a lot of the day yesterday. When we got home from my ILs yesterday, she started sobbing and wailing uncontrollably and crying 'please, please' over and over again. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. The 24 hr nurse line sent us to the ER because they were worried about her ears since at that point she'd been at it for close to an hour. After over 2 hours of wailing and 3 hours in the ER, she's just constipated and bloated from her antibiotics. I felt horrible for wasting the ER doctors time. And just felt like an idiot in general. Her ear infection is better but Now we're on poop watch and I'm exhausted.
