Christmas 2018
Maybe I’ll just make it a thing to post after holidays or exciting life events 😂. Let’s go back a bit to Thanksgiving. After years of stomach issues and pain I, finally, discovered I had a very unhappy gallbladder with numerous stones. Uggg. Because our AirBnB was booked all of Oct I had to wait until Nov for removal. Nov 19 I lost that awful organ! My body is still figuring out how to live with out a gallbladder, but I am so happy to be pain free! My parents came out for Thanksgiving and stayed a week after to help- I couldn’t lift, push, or pull anything for 2 weeks. Nikki and Dan came up for Thanksgiving too.
We all took the train to the city after Thanksgiving and I was able to go as well. Had to walk slow and take some breaks, but it’s always fun to go down there around Christmas time!
We set up the tree while my parents were here too.
Painting with Grandma!
We became the owners of a giant bin of free legos. Kept the girls busy for days!!
We did some fun Christmas activities and cookie making leading up to Christmas!
Hot Cocoa Spoons
We hosted a neighborhood Christmas party with all our favorite food and drinks! It was a big hit and we all had a blast!
Lit the advent candles at church
Decorated cookies and gingerbread houses
Angel for the Christmas Eve Service
And then PRESENTS on Christmas!!
It was so nice to be in our house for Christmas since we were in the hotel last year! It will be one year on January 13 that we’ve been in the house and it’s been a wonderful year!!
