Blue Christmas, Part Deux

It was weird waking up this morning to an empty house. It's Christmas Eve. It's supposed to be filled with anticipation & excitement. Family & friends. 

Collin slept most of the day. Waking to eat & play for a little while, but his strength isn't back to 100%, so he tired quickly.

My Mom called & invited us over to her house for a bit. She knew I'd be lonely. So, we loaded up & went over there for a bit. It was nice to be with family.

My Mom is the Queen of Christmas. For realsies. How do you think I got my name? Hello!! Anyway, my point is that her house is always decked the frick out for Christmas. Can anyone say bokeh party??

I was doing laundry today. Yup. Laundry. On Christmas Eve. While putting away Collin's clothes, I happened upon an old Christmas sweater of mine. I had completely forgotten that I saved it for this Christmas. My Aunt Barb, who made Collin's Spartans shirt, made it for me when I was a little girl. I took it to my Mom's house so we could get some photos of him wearing it by her ginormous tree.

In the middle of our photo sesh, Collin decided to grow the biggest snot bubble you have ever seen!!! Seriously. It was epic. I'm thinking of contacting Guinness. The best part? It stayed on his nose until we were able to track down a tissue to wipe it away with....after we had a good, long laugh. Mom fail, FTW.

Then, we played Star Wars with the remnants of my Mom's wrapping paper rolls.

{ "Luke, I am your fathaaaaaa!!!" }

Collin was a bit more active today than he has been in the past week. I'm hopeful he will be feeling better in time for my family's Christmas. We will be celebrating on Sunday, the 26th since my sister is working tonight & I was supposed to be in LA.

I'm hoping the rest of you are snuggling with your families, watching a Christmas movie or two & going to bed with visions of sugarplums!
