He LOVED it!
Grandpa's surprise gift from Grandma - a new Henry gun. He was VERY surprised!
Grandpa and the babies - Adam wasn't too happy, and Hannah wasn't willing to have Grandpa only hold one baby. She was a little jealous!
We spent Christmas Eve day at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We usually just get together for the evening, but since it was a Saturday, we made a day of it! We had a yummy big lunch, quickly cleaned the dishes and then started opening presents. Everyone had a great time even though no one napped. And we were very tired.
The night before, Jonathan had started coughing and woke up late, around midnight, coughing and coughing. He finally coughed so hard that he threw up. We gave him some cough suppressant, took him outside to breathe in some cold winter air and put him back to bed. He woke up again, around 4 when the medicine wore off and again coughed until he threw up. This time the cough sounded like croup, so outside we went again. It was about 30 degrees, but I had my ND coat and Jonathan wrapped in a blanket. We looked at the moon and the stars for as long as we could stand the cold. He was such a brave little trooper. His cough still sounded horrible, so I dug in the medicine cabinet and found some leftover steroids from his last croup attack in October. So we gave him a dose, so water and a puke bucket and back to bed we all went. (Please note that I am a certified medical professional in the middle of the night and it's OK for me to drug my child as needed to sleep!) Ha!
In the morning, he had a mild, dry cough and no more croup sounding junk and no more puke! So we notified everyone that we were bringing germs and loaded up the car with kids and presents and had a great day even though we were tired!
