Daddy's Leg...

The day before Christmas eve,
Jon had surgery on his knee...
he tore the cartilage under his knee cap and
his meniscus...
so he was in a great deal of pain for the Holidays...
and very loopy from the pain medicine!
And he is a pretty bad patient...
refused to accept help at all,
enjoyed a beer with his pain pills even though
I told him no,
went outside several times for smoking,
which we wasn't supposed to do...
I swear,
If he ever has to have surgery again,
I will hire a nurse to hover over him at home!
~
Jon was able to be home for over 6 weeks to let
his knee fully heal...
and we loved those 6 weeks!
Now he is back at work and we are back to
missing him terribly.

Christmas Morning...

My grand plan of blogging more often
was an epic fail.
Oh well.
Soooo...
back to Christmas pictures...
my kids love to look at past holidays and event on this blog,
so I better post these so I don't disappoint them!
~
Christmas eve the kids left cookies,
milk and orange juice out for Santa...
and they sprinkled the 
Reindeer food outside so those poor 
reindeer don't starve!
{they fly on glitter, so they added plenty!}
My favorite is watching their faces as they come running down the 
steps to find the cookies gone
and packages on the end table...
all wrapped up in fancy sparkle paper and signed 
"Love, Santa"...
such a magical moment...
The kids were so excited that they didn't want to open the gifts right away...
they just held them and soaked up 
the magic and anticipation...
someday the magic will wear off a little...
so for now I cherish every moment of this 
childhood wonder!
Angelina's face shows it all...


Santa left a little Dr kit for Angelina and 
a BB gun for the the other two...
pink for Elsie and the tiniest wooden one for James...
Santa knew just what they wanted!
After Santa gifts and eating a little breakfast,
we passed out the gifts from under the tree...
James was so excited to tear into his biggest package...
a rocking bull!

Frozen barbies! I think both girls opened every 
frozen item imaginable this year!
Poor daddy was still pretty miserable and spend his day 
like this...
{good thing he has some pretty good gift-openers ready to help him!}
That is a house full of Happiness!


After we were done opening all the gifts,
Grandma b and Patrick had to drop off the girls huge gift...
it was too big to hide in our house,
so she kept it hidden away until Christmas morning...
They were excited!!
~
The rest of our day was spend lounging around in our 
Christmas pj's and eating donut muffins and fresh fruit...
Christmas 2014 was a memorable one...
