We had quite a crazy Christmas break this year. I'll just give a little rundown on the events.
Monday: Ryan had fever and cough
Tuesday: Ryan's still sick so we can't go anywhere
Wed: Samantha is now sick so still no going anywhere. That night Aaron came home from a soccer game and said he thinks her tore his achilles tendon.
Thurs: Samantha still sick. Aaron confirms his fear and is set to have surgery the following monday
Fri: Christmas Eve This day wasn't too bad. Aaron had to work and Samantha was not totally back to feeling well, but we had a great time at the Stevenson's for dinner
Sat: Christmas! This was a fun day for us yay!!
Sun: Samantha and Aaron stayed home from church (she still wasn't feeling all that great)
Mon: Aaron had surgery that went really well. He was crazy coming out of anesthesia. Too bad I didn't have a camera to record the crazy comments and singing :)
Tues: Aaron is on the couch the whole day. Erica is out getting Aaron his scooter (so he can get around easier) and trying to fix his crutches. After the 7th store, she has success.
Wed: Erica has fever and cough
Thurs: Erica is worse. Aaron tries to get around as much as he can to help out while Erica is on the couch. The kids run amuck!! We have to cancel Samantha's birthday party with her friends because Erica's too sick.
Fri: Erica goes to doctor and finds out it's the flu (influenza) ugg!! Aaron and Erica spend new years on their respective couches. Thankfully Ryan and Samantha are taken the the Stevenson festivities and they have a blast!
Sat: Erica and Aaron still on the couch :)
Sun: All family (all but erica) go to gma stevenson's and celebrate Samantha's bday.
That was the entire Christmas vacation for our family. Our home is a total disaster and I think the kids watched more TV, movies and played more Wii than they have in their lives.
I wanted to thank everyone for helping us out. The meals that were brought, the driveway shoveled, the grocery shopping that was done and the kids that were watched. We would not have survived without you!!!
Here's hoping that the 2011 Christmas will be better :) (bring on the flu shot!)
