The boys and I flew out to Orange County Saturday afternoon to spend Christmas with the Tates. Everyone came except Natalie and Miranda, who were obviously preoccupied. The stomach flu ripped through our family effecting everyone on different days. Some how Chandler and Sterling were the only ones to be untouched. Unfortunately, I was the one to be laid out on Christmas day. Our Christmas was a little different, but still full of wonder, and I'm grateful the boys were well.
We made cookies, which went undelivered for fear of delivering the flu with them. :)
Christmas eve we didn't hang out stockings or wear our fancy new PJs. Grandpa was just too sick..
But, Christmas morning Santa still brought presents...
And we still had hunts...
And Christmas night, instead, we hung our stockings, read a Christmas story, doned our PJs and enjoyed opening presents to and from each other...
Saturday we enjoyed the tide pools in Laguna, and lunch at El Torrito.
We also played a lot of games, which I am sure is a great way to spread germs, ate yummy food and enjoyed good company. Merry Christmas, friends!
