Well Thursday night in the middle of the night Stetson woke up with the croop we think. He was weasing and having a very hard time breathing in between his coughing. So when we woke up that morning he was not feeling well at all. So we decided to for go any plans we had for Christmas Eve and stay at home where it was warm and see if we could get him feeling a little better so we could go out on Christmas. Needless to say we had nothing planned for things to do at home. We were suppose to go with my in-laws to their ward Christmas program then back to their house for some dinner and games. Knowing Stetson wasn't feeling good we didn't want to get the rest of the Grand kids sick the night before Christmas.
As Cody and I were trying to figure out what we were going to do a phone call came in from a family in our ward asking if we had any plans. We replied no our plans have changed now that Stetson has come down with something. They asked if it would be alright if they could bring a prime rib dinner down to us. We were blown away. Knowing that we didn't have anything planned and was trying to figure it out we get this phone call. Its kind of strange how things seam to work out. We are so grateful to our wonderful friends who were looking out for us.
Here we are enjoying our wonderful meal.
After we were done watching Christmas movies and reading books Stetson was going crazy being stuck in the house. so we decided to take a drive to Alpine knowing that Santa stops at the Patterson home up on the hill handing out candy canes. We were one of the first since we were thee just at dark so he let us take a picture in his sleigh. Stetson didn't feel good enough to get out so Tenlie was the only one who got to enjoy.
When we got home the kids were excited to open their Christmas PJ's.
We included the mini web kins this year to through them off a little.
We have done matching Jammies now for the past 5 years and the kids love it.
Then of course the milk and cookies to Santa.
This year we added a new thing its the Reindeer dust. Our kids were very excited about this.
Then last year Tenlie was getting a little to smart for her own good and was very worried that we didn't have a chimney. No matter what we told her she wasn't going to go for it. She thought Santa was going ruin our house trying to get through our fake fire place. My mother-in-law came across this magical key that only Santa can use to get in the front door. Tenlie was so excited about it now. So she makes sure it gets hung.
I think we were able to check all our to do list off so now Santa could come. Off to bed our little ones went. They insisted sleeping in the same room together.
