A quick wrap up of the holiday

Christmas morning turned into Christmas day which turned into Christmas night - WE HAD AN "ALL DAY" CHRISTMAS and it was so much fun!   We opened up a few presents Christmas morning before we found out that Ian had actually gotten on a flight out of Chicago and was going to be in Indiana by noon.  After picking up Ian, we opened a few more gifts.  We went to the hospital to visit Brynlee and Scary Santa who was there to visit all the NICU brothers and sisters.  I think Scary Santa was a patient from the psych ward on the 5th floor of the hospital.  Tom kept saying "no wonder Hannah and Tatem were crying!  I was scared of him too!"  Ian wondered if Scary Santa had just returned from him break where he went out and smoked a PACK!!  Now that our children are scared for life, we visited and cuddled with Brynlee real quick.  By the time we were able to get back to opening the rest of the presents it was almost 9:30 pm.  We finally let Tatem open all the rest of her presents but she was spent - and cranky, so we put her to bed and finished opening her gifts.  By the time we were actually done it was 10:30 and it was off to the upstairs to play a bit of RockBand!  We already have a request for a Christmas miracle for next year.  Could it be that all of us are together on Christmas Eve?  NO.  Could it be that we have a Christmas with little or no stress?  NO.  Could it be that RockBand comes out with Christmas Music?  YES!!!  Now THAT would be such a great Christmas miracle!
