We had a quiet Christmas this year (well, as quiet as it can be with 2 kids and new toys). We usually spend the day at Shane's parents (Mom-Mom and Granddaddy) house but his mother was taken to the hospital on Christmas Eve with a blood infection. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in September and while the chemo has been successful in significantly reducing the size of her tumor, she has been beset by a number of infections. We were able to get together with them after the new year so the kids could open their presents. As you can see, Santa was extra generous this year as this may be mom-mom's last Christmas with us. We hope not. We love her and hope that we have many more holidays with her.
The kids got a bunch of great gifts. Ava got her very first American Girl doll and a play kitchen that looks a lot better than my real one. Alex got his first Nintendo (I think Santa forgot about my ban on video games), which of course he loves. (Sigh) It starts already...
