Being a teacher, I am so lucky to get a nice 2 week break for Christmas. Our last day of school was Friday, December 17th but instead of getting to spend that last day with my kids, I was home with strep. I went in to the doctor Friday morning to get tested so that I could get something to help me get better fast. They gave me a penicillin shot that was awful! Apparently, it is a very thick liquid that has to be given slowly. It was the longest minute of my life. When they were done I was so dizzy and nauseous that I thought I would faint. The only positive outcome was that I was fully recovered and well by Sunday. This was not how I intended to begin my Christmas break.
Brian had to work through Thursday so we headed to Temple early on Christmas Eve. Instead of doing gifts this year, my family adopted a family that was in need. It was so fun shopping for the kids and they were so excited when we delivered the gifts on Christmas Eve. Later that evening we headed to our church's Christmas Eve service. Christmas morning we opened up some gifts that were in our stockings. Tanner definitely had the most toys! It was fun watching him squeal as he ripped the paper off the boxes.
After opening gifts it was time to get ready for our big Christmas lunch. It was a big group this year. We had our family there, Poppa, Uncle Mark, the Cunninghams, the Burchels, and the Arnolds.
What is a get together without a little game of Gestures?!
Merry Christmas from the O'Neals, the Baileys, and the Pattillos.
