Christmas was great! I hope you all had an awesome holiday! I cannot believe its over again for another year! thats so depressing. I just love Christmas. As always the "we really cut back this year" did not hold true and we got a lot of really great gifts from everyone! I am excited to get home from the Quad cities and get settled back in at home so i can get all my stuff put away and get Vaughn's new toys switched with some older ones. She did great and just loved time with everyone! Christmas eve was lots of fun getting to see and hang out with everyone. We played some fun games this year too and did a fun white elephant gift exchange. It is very sad watching my grandparents age and its always sad that everyone has to take off so early. If we had it our way everyone would stay until late playing cards and drinking eggnog. I wish family got to gether more often, for no reason and not just on the holidays. We will have to work harder at that.
Vaughn-elise has had a rash since she woke up Christmas morning. It is my thinking that she ate somethign on Christmas eve that she was allergic to. It has not gone away yet so tonight I started giving her some benedryl as recommended by the pharmacist. Neither rudy nor i gave her anything new but its easy for her to grab food off of someone's plate, the counter or for someone to give her a friendly bite so we're not sure what she ate really. I feel horrible for her, her poor little armpits are covered in bumps and her entire back and under diaper area, legs, arms and now hands and face. It looks horrible. Poor thing. She doesnt seem too bothered by it, other than being a little more emotional than normal.
We are in the quad cities now doing Christmas with Rudy's family. The weather here is so strange. When we left for his sisters house it was 56 and a serious downpour of rain, thunder and
lightening. within 3o minutes the sky was green and we were under a tornado warning. Within another hour or two the weather had dropped to 20 degrees and the roads were covered in a thick sheet of ice. We were not back to rudy's for 3o minutes before ambulances and cops were just down the street and rudy went out to my car to get something and fell and scraped up his leg. Its nuts. Probably the WEIRDEDST weather day Ive ever seen.
I went out some on Friday for the after Christmas sales and got some great deals on wrapping paper and ornaments, gift tags etc. I could have spent hundreds of dollars on clearance holiday items but broke me could only afford a little bit. I look forward to using it next year though. I am starting to think that gift wrapping and excessories is the buisness to be in! Its so expensive and everyone needs it (birthdays, christmas etc.) and i can never find the kind of design I am looking for or the perfect package accessories. Maybe I need to hook up with target and come up with my own line?!?!
Anyways, I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and I wish you all a safe and happy new year.
