Merry Christmas too all!

We have had an uneventful week. Brendan came home on Monday and is doing well. We still have antibiotics and breathing treatments and he still needs some oxygen all day long. Keeping him on the string is challenging. But he is recovering.

Thanks to Gramma, aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends, the boys had a bunch of presents to open. Starting on Wednesday, I would randomly put a present under the tree when they were out of the room. They would notice and get all excited. Brendan said, “Mommy!! The Christmas tree farted out a present!” Whenever they were near the tree, they were watching it.

They got some awesome fast new slot cars with loops.

This morning, the rest of the pile appeared.

Almost 500 pieces to put together! The instructions said to allow 4-6 hours to build. It took about 2 and a half, with the boys “helping”. They were so eager to play!

Brendan has been asking for this for months. He was so happy to see the box. This also took a couple of hours to build, but it was awesome. One of my favorite Lego models so far – and we have lots!

The boys had a fun time. What kid doesn’t like to get awesome new toys? We missed our families and wish we could have been with all of them for the holiday. The last few weeks are a real blur and it is hard to believe it was Christmas day. I will probably start my gift shopping Monday. Better late than never!?

Extra love and hugs go to Pittsburgh tonight, a new baby cousin is only days away (or less!). I am glad Gramma arrived before he did!
