Christmas

First and For most, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!   I sure did.  I didn't feel great, was really tired and my body hurt pretty good but we made the most of it and had a fabulous day.  

We did most of are activities on Christmas eve.  When you have 4 kids and 3 different other parents it becomes a tad tricky to figure out your own time to celebrate.  Christmas eve was busy but in the end I think I would choose it if I had to do it again.  Sundays are a tough day in general so for Christmas to have fallen on that day for me was sort of a bummer. 

 Apparently, many people who were suppose to be in the infusion room receiving some sort of treatment had canceled due to not wanting to feel yucky on Christmas. I was surprised, I mean pretty important things are happening if you have a reason to be in the infusion room but could totally understand not wanting to feel awful.Plus it allowed me to have a quite chemo.  Well....sort of ......I have so many people who love me and want to provide me company during chemo that I had a revolving door of people coming to see me.  

Anyway....

 We had our Christmas with the boys, Robs mom, and my Dad and Step mom on Christmas eve and then went to my Mom and Step Dad's on Christmas day.  I even managed to attend church, for the first time in years, and go out to look at the lights in Eagle Crest on Christmas Eve night.  Which probably led to my couch and heating pad pose on Christmas morning at my Mom's.  

This lady and her little man are my strength everyday.

Best Friends

The boys went back to there Mom and Boston went to her dads and Blake stayed with Rob and me.  By Christmas afternoon we had one kiddo who was happy playing with her knew toys so we watched a movie, cleaned up a little and laughed. Hence the picture at the top, and below.   I mean if you can't laugh at yourself through some of this you will go crazy.  

This year we experienced the true meaning of Christmas in so many ways.  To everyone who loved on my family this season you are our Angel and we will NEVER be able to repay you but we will pay it forward and serve others as often as we can. 

 Tears stream from my eyes as I write that.  You are all incredible and we are incredibly gifted to have you all in our life. 

In the end Christmas weekend was fantastic.  Onto New Years!
