Christmas Eve was spent at our house this year so Grandma and Grandpa Hogue came down to our house. We thought it would be a good idea to try this year and invited them too join us for church on Sunday morning too. Because of the weather, Grandma and Grandpa came down one day earlier, on Friday evening.
Friday the kids all had school at least half the way day. Saturday was a lazy day, mostly because I was sick and needed to get food prepared for Christmas Eve/Day. The boys played around and Wiggy was glued to Grandpa Hogue. At one point Grandpa took all of the kids down to the park.
In the afternoon we attempted to make this Christmas tree snack, which was composed off little balls of dough, filled with mozzarella cheese. It turned out pretty good but probably wouldn't make it again.
We decided to do breakfast dinner again for Christmas Eve. I made scrambled eggs, turkey sausage bread and cinnamon rolls. I made extra to share with the missionaries in our ward. They came by around 9pm to pick up their breakfast for Christmas morning! Grandma Hogue made some cinnamon cake, muffins and a hash brown casserole.
Grandma Hogue had some Christmas cookies made with the kid's
names on them.
After dinner we turned on the TV and the kids watched the "Santa Tracker." Wiggy sand along to the music for a good hour and it was very entertaining. I tried to capture a few moments on video but she caught me. The kids were in bed by around 9:30. We made a bed on the floor of the boys' room and Bubba slept on the floor so Wiggy could have his bed. Grandma and Grandpa slept in Wiggy's room.
Santa has arrived....
Chicago Cubs jersey and Blackhawks sweatshirt for Bubba.
Seattle Seahawks jersey and sweatshirt for Tubbs...
and a new bicycle for Wiggy. Complete with a basket, slower and donut bell.
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
