Christmas this year was very different...and difficult. I took the girls to the doctor on Christmas Eve because they didn't seem to feel good and I didn't want to wait for several days and it get worse. We all know how my kids immune systems can be. Anyway, it was a good thing I did because they both had the flu. We were quarantined away from everyone the whole Christmas. It was both a good and a bad thing. The good thing was we had a quiet Christmas at home, watching movies, putting legos together, and just enjoying each other's company. On Christmas Eve evening, we went to Shannon's house in shifts. Brian and Lauren went first and spent time with Shannon and my parents. Then we came to hang out for a bit. The girls honestly slept most of the evening there. We took them home to get ready for Santa. They were excited, but too sick to really cause a lot of fuss. On Christmas morning, the girls got up to see what Santa brought them! Jocelyn was in good spirits, but poor Daphne was feeling really bad. She opened her first two presents, and didn't even care to look at them. She laid on the couch with her daddy and went back to sleep for another few hours. This was after both of them had slept until after 9! (which NEVER happens in our house, no matter how late we put them to bed)
After we opened presents, we had lunch at our house and played with our new toys. We finally went to mom and dads that evening to open presents from their house. We didn't get to go to Mamaw's house because of the girls being sick. I think it was honestly the best way for us (me) to go, as we missed everyone being really sad about Pop pop not being there for his favorite holiday. We greatly enjoyed our different holiday this year because it was low key. The girls took most of the Christmas break to feel better and bounce back from that nasty flu! Ugh it was not fun!
