Christmas Eve

With Erik and Meg out of town, we spent Chritmas eve with the Budge Family. Since they are my adopted nieces and nephews and Mom thinks of them as her Grandchildren it was a perfect way to spend the night. It was full of choas, songs, tears, food, and a wonderful version of the Christmas story.

Sadly earlier that day when all the kids were jumping off the couch into a pile of pillows, little ciel jumped and landed funny on her elbow. A piece broke off and she had to spend the day in the hospital. She made it home just in time for dinner (she got a special happy meal from McD, all of us were jealous!). She kept crying and saying "bandaid off!" It was heartbreaking. But she was a champ!!! She had to have surgery later in the week and they put in 3 pins. What a brave little 3 year old!

Now i have to say, getting dressed for "the Christmas story" was the most entertaining part. Everyone looked adorable of course and did a fantastic job in their parts.

Such a special night with an adorable family! Thanks for making us a part of the Budge family
