Christmas 2012

After Jude went to the emergency room on the 22nd, we weren't sure how Christmas was going to go.  His hives never seemed to bother him, but he did get a little more fussy at night and got a slight fever.  But after a couple doses of steroids, Jude was doing much better for our first day of celebrating on Dec. 23rd.

First, we went to open presents and eat lunch at Grandma and Grandpa R's house.

Then, we headed to Drew's great-grandma's house to see all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins.

On Christmas Eve, we had no plans during the day so Jude got to play with some of his new toys and recover from the last couple of days.  He was still covered with hives so I'm glad we got the day to relax.

Later that night, we went to Grandma and Grandpa M's house to open presents and eat dinner.

Christmas morning was so fun with Jude this year.  Last year, he was 3 months old and we didn't really get him much of anything, ha!  This time, he was able to get excited about ripping up the wrapping paper and sticking the bows on our heads.

We are feeling very blessed this 2012 and are thankful for the birth of our Savior!
