This was Cristian's very first Christmas season and I was very excited to celebrate in a big way--unfortunately fate had other plans. The week before Christmas the plague seemed to hit the school he is at and all the kids were sick. C held his own pretty well but feel victim the Friday before Christmas. He was still a trooper and managed to find it in him to open presents from his Auntie Gina, Grandpa and Uncle Mikey and family:
We delayed our trip down south until Sunday, but finally made our way because we did not want to drive on Christmas Eve. As is our usual custom, we grabbed Hardee's before we hit the road. Boy, was that a decision we would come to regret. That night, with C still not feeling well and us tired from our trip, the hammer fell and both Vlad and I had food poisoning. We were pretty much out of commission all of Christmas Eve. We managed to rally and open presents that night. C was feeling much better and seemed to enjoy his bounty. Thank goodness for Grandma!
Here are some pictures of present-opening:
