Christmas Eve was a struggle for me because, not only was I dealing with the inconviences of the pregnancy, but what felt like contractions. After Roger and I put the kids in bed, I was hurled over the porclin throan. Shortly after, we decided I needed to go into the Emergency room because of the intense cramping I was having. I returned home around 2am with the doctors concluding that the cramping, extreme nausia and other symptoms (aside from the pregnancy) were result of food poisoning.
I was thankful to return home to a beautiful tile I received for Christmas that says, "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's learning to dance in the rain." That's exactly what I did, I counted my many blessings and tried to catch as much sleep as I could before the kids woke us up to open presents.
Santa brought Kambrya a kitchen and Nikholi a race track!
Grandma Judi was also able to manage to send some gifts back to the kids. When Nikholi opened his gift he said, "This is what I've always wanted!" We laughed.
BTW: it was one of those bikes that hook up to the tv to play educational games.
Here is a picture of the kids enjoying their time opening present after present.
Kambri received several baby dolls, one from her brother, one from us, and her favorite was from Grandma Marini.
Nikholi also was excited to see that we got him a hot wheels race track to add onto the tracks he already has.
After we opened all the gifts we organized them nicely in the kids' rooms and they still can't get enough of their new toys.
Another one of Nikholi's favorites was his computer, also brought by Santa Claus.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this Christmas a very memorable Christmas, despite our minor setbacks, you've really made a difference in my life and our family.
THANK YOU!
