Christmas Morning started early. We got up with Emma, and discovered that Santa had visited and left lots of presents for Emma. We explored our Stockings, and started in on the unwrapping. Emma was loving her presents, but after about half were opened, she came over to cuddle Mommy and seemed a little glazed over. After a few minutes, she got back up, walked to the middle of the room and got sick. After a quick bath and clean up, she was a good as new. We finished opening our gifts, called family to let them know Emma was sick, and decided not to go to church as who knew if it would happen again!
Here is our annual Christmas Photo by our tree. We usually take this when we decorate the tree, but it just had not worked out this year. we could not get Emma to look at the camera, she was far too interested in her presents. A lesson learned to make sure to do it before we have gifts to concentrate on!
None of our family had issues coming over with Emma sick, as it was
Christmas and they didn't want to miss seeing everyone. I was very
excited to host this year. I wanted something special for my nephews
Pirate Cousin and Army Man, so I made up a Treasure Hunt with bad Pirate
poetry. Here is Pirate Cousin reading the first clue. He was not
overly excited as there was reading, and he wanted his presents.
Army Man was all excited for the treasure hunt. Their mom Meredith helped read all the clues, and Army Man was fairly good at finding the hiding places. Pirate Cousin followed along, and I think he had fun, but was a little shy about it. After they found their "Booty" in the hope chest in the living room, they were more then ready to open their real gifts.
We had a wonderful afternoon with great food, and even better company. Emma cuddled up to her Pirate Cousin and just enjoyed being with him. Army Man was thrilled to play with his new Army Men her received. I love watching how much my Emma loves her cousins and how much they care for her.
