Well, we went from having a 3 year old with a broken leg while I was super pregnant to having a very difficult baby while I was recovering from a c-section. Hence, I haven't kept up with recording the events of our lives. Now we're past the worst parts of it (though we're still working on determining what's bothering the baby) so I'm going to try to be better.
Jeff was sent to work on some of the big fires in Southern California that happened before Christmas. He was assigned to defend Rob Lowe's house at one point. Rob Lowe and his son tried to bring the firefighters brownies to thank them, but CHP wouldn't let them because of the evacuation orders. Jeff hadn't taken his paternity leave, so he was able to use that to come home from the fires for Christmas. We were super excited about it, but it was after he left that Rob Lowe was able to provide Jeff's group of firefighters with a nice dinner. Dang it!
Gideon didn't seem to understand what the big deal about Christmas was, but the other kids loved it! They got just what they wanted from Santa and assumed that all their presents were from Santa even after we would say something like, "Look what your aunt got for you!"
Now, a week later, they are still constantly dancing around the house while singing Christmas songs. I suspect that will last a couple more months. We just love Christmas!
