Day 26-29

Christmas has continued!! After our Christmas day celebrations, we went to GreatDaddy's on Monday for our Alexander Christmas celebration. I only have one picture from that due to the fact that I had come down with a bad sinus infection and felt miserable. However, a fun day was had. The kids enjoyed getting to see everyone, we had a delicious meal, and we had a fun game of Dirty Santa. We also got a picture of everyone - it always amazes me every year when we seem to manage to get a picture where everyone is looking at the camera! I can't even do that with just my three children!


On Tuesday, we went up to Mama Mae's house for more Christmas fun with Mama Mae, Gramma, Pappy, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Lhen, and Aunt Linda. Charlie enjoyed sharing his Raffi with Mama Mae and reading to her.


The kids had a great time playing with toys they got for Christmas as well as anything and everything the could find!



Mama Mae got a Kit doll from Santa for Christmas and Lucy enjoyed talking about her doll with her.

And poor Oreo was worn out from all the excitement of having three children around!

Wednesday and Thursday have been filled with playing with Christmas presents and trying to clean up the mess that this house has become. I still can't figure out where all these new toys are going to go!!




On Thursday, Lucy had a follow up appointment at the orthopedist to see how her arm was healing. They took off the cast to do xrays, and we were hopeful that she would be done with her cast!

After the xrays, Lucy shut down a little - I think she was nervous that they were going to put a new cast on. Once the doctor told her she didn't need one, she perked right back up! When we sat down in the doctor's office after the xrays, the nurse went into the computer to pull up Lucy's file. After a few awkward seconds of silence, the nurse finally noticed what we had already seen - it was an xray of a leg! She quickly went back in and found the correct one . . . . 

Now that Lucy is cast free, she's got to work on stretching her arm out. Her elbow is tight and she is a little hesitant to move it. She does seem to understand though that it's very important to start working those muscles again. She has done a good job at starting to move things and her wrist and fingers are all back to regular movement. . . we'll work on the elbow tomorrow!
