Christmas Day

Tre and William LOVED Santa Claus! Tre came into our room to wake us up and the first thing he said was, "MOM, DAD! You have to come see this! Santa didn't pass us up!!" I guess he was a little worried that he had been naughty! HAHA! He asked why we didn't get anything and Jack told him that we must not have been as good as he was! Then I overheard Tre tell my sister that Jack and I had been naughty, so we didn't get anything! :)

Unfortunately, Jack has been working tons and was supposed to have a long weekend for Christmas that we were really looking forward too, but then he got asked to go to NOLA to help out a fellow co-worker. Of course, as a newbie at work, you can't say no to those things, so he had to work up until Christmas Eve and leave first thing (4 am) the day after Christmas and miss my family's Christmas celebration.

Even more unfortunate, I got a terrible bug the day after Christmas and, even though I went to my family's Christmas get together, I never got off the couch. Thankfully, I had my family to help me with the kids. It's just another reminder of why I am so thankful to live near family. There is nothing worse than having to take care of two young kiddos alone when you are sick and can barely take care of yourself!

Jack is still working in NOLA, so we are taking a trip there today to spend the night with him. His job should be complete in the morning, so we are hoping to have a family day in NOLA and go to the zoo or aquarium.
