What a... unique... Christmas we had yesterday! We managed to have both parents awake enough to open presents, though it was broken into two turns. We did breakfast, stockings, and a few presents before Michael and I both HAD to go back to sleep. Then, a couple of hours later we managed to get the rest of the presents open and had a delicious dinner my mom made and my brother/sil brought over. All in all it was a nice day. I think I managed to stay awake for a whole 5 hours (spread out) during the day. Definitely not what I was hoping for... but we do what we have to. The girls were excellent sports and seemed to enjoy the day. Michael is getting into that period post-surgery when it gets more uncomfortable, especially his throat, since they shoved things around to get back to his spine through the front. Really, sleep is the best option. We're extremely grateful for a friend who texted Michael this morning to see if our walks had been cleared. Since they hadn't, he came over and took care of it! A very thoughtful thing to do. All in all, it was a good Christmas indeed. Sabrina seems to be on the mend, though she seems to still run a fever a night and is still coughing, Lizzie is improving but probably a couple of days in recovery behind Sabrina, of course, but Kate is now wiped out on the couch with a temp over 101. We're glad we're used to low key ;) If we were used to running around and doing lots of things every day we'd be going nuts by now! Instead, we're enjoying a quiet day with some Cupcake Wars on TV :) via Facebook
