Christmas eve was a fun day together.Kara and I made cute snowman cupcakes and a rice krispie house. I have to admit, I let Kara do most of the decorating on the house herself, so it's not the best looking, but I was so tired of doing projects by that point, and I was also trying to help Ben with dinner. Ben made us such a yummy dinner. He did a pot roast with potatoes and carrots, artichokes, and I did the rolls and jello. Both of the girls loved the dinner too. Unfortunately, Ben got one of his first bites of meat stuck in his throat. I guess it's about time for him to go back in for work on it. He tried and tried, and thought he could get it down, but it just wouldn't budge. he kept puking violently every time he would try to swallow anything. He shook up a soda and tried to force it down with that, but he just ended up getting soda with little food particles on every wall of the bathroom. the sink and floor were covered, and the ceiling too. so that was not too fun to clean up. I called the hospital to see what the wait time was, (he's waited for over 12 hours before when this has happened, because a specialist has to come in to take care of it) but the ER lady refused to give out a time frame because she said it is always changing. she just kept telling me to call 911. I tried to explain that he could breathe, so this was not life or death, and she said, "just do what you need to do then, I can't help over the phone". all I wanted was a little info, jeez! so Ben decided he didn't want to go until the next day. he still wanted to eat his dinner, even though he couldn't swallow, so he sat there with a bowl to puke it back into. so that was a bit... disturbing. but he didn't want to miss out on it. Then the girls got to open some jammies from us and their gifts to each other, which were disney blankets with their names on them. Kara got cinderella and Kiersten got Tinkerbell. And we opened our gifts from the girls, which were... disney blankets!!! Ben got Jack the pumpkin king, and I got minnie mouse. They had our names on them too. Kara ended up having an accident on the couch, so don't worry, I had plenty of cleaning up to do. so the couch was wet and it was too much for ben to be around all the yummy goodies we had, so we all went upstairs to spend the evening in the family room. Kiersten and Kara went to bed early, so Santa was able to visit relatively early. But Kara woke up and was far too excited to go back to bed. she kept Ben up til around 2:30. and then Kiersten was up bright and early at 6, so I let her play around for a while so the other 2 could get more sleep. I think everyone finally got up around 8 or 8:30. The food fell down to Ben's stomach overnight. He said it was a Christmas Miracle! We were so glad to not have to go out in the yucky snow on Christmas day!
The girls were so cute playing with everything, and even had a switcheroo where they both ended up with each other's stocking stuffers. they finally got to unwrap all those presents under the tree. that sure took a while. Kiersten only liked it for a few gifts, then she just wanted to play, and who can blame her? Ben was pretty good about getting things put together quickly so they could play. It was a really nice day. Ben got to relax and play his new video game a lot. we also played tons with the girls and I didn't make Kara do any chores or "tidying up" as we call it. Kara got hi-ho cherry-o and candy land. those were both really fun to play with her. Ben even let kiersten play candy land. Kara's favorite gift is her leapster from Grandma Howard. I can not believe how much she was glued to that thing yesterday. She also got a stroller, carseat, and bed for her new baby doll, so that was a hit too. Kiersten loves this musical mirror with instruments that she got from Grandma Howard. They both actually played with that a lot. She also really likes her new glow worm. and they both had fun jumping on the bubble wrap that came in a gift from my sister Chris. Hopefully next year will be even better! (without any choking)
