With nurses in the family, you learn to be flexible. We've celebrated Christmas on a variety of days. The first time moving the day was the hardest, after that we got the mindset that Christmas is when we say it is.
This year Heather had to work nights on Christmas Eve. So we got together with them on Christmas Eve Eve, then they did made Christmas Eve morning into Christmas morning. She worked Christmas Eve, slept, and they spent the afternoon with Ed's family. It worked out for all!
Julianna already has several afghans, so I got her a huge body pillow shaped like a flower. She snuggled right up to it!
Ed is so hard to buy for! I enlisted Heather, who said he wanted to make pasta- he loves to cook. We decided on the pasta attachment for their Kitchenaid mixer. He was surprised and happy to get it. We got Heather lots of coffee, and some items from her wish list. It was a really fun day, and they made us a vegan dinner of baked ziti, ceaser salad, and garlic bread. For dessert I made a cranberry eggnog bread pudding, which they all liked, and I took the little cream puffs that Ed and Eddie like. All in all, it was a wonderful, relaxing day.
Even Honey Rose got a gift, I got her a stuffed chicken. She's getting old- eleven or so- but loves to carry her stuffed babies around.
