Christmas 2009

This year it was the kids turn to spend the actual holiday with their other parents. So we had our Christmas celebration on 12/20/09 instead. We went up to the Hoggle Zoo on our pseudo Christmas Eve for Zoo Lights. It was perfect weather for walking thru the zoo and spying on the slumbering animals. We would highly recommend it for next year!

Shakierra got a new iPod, Myles got a "touch" phone, Brad and I just got plain spoiled :)

Brad and I spent Christmas Eve with the Alexanders. Heather made the most delicious ham!! So we ate until we could eat no more and then moved onto the gifts. Both Jane and Grace are into Princesses, so that was the theme of their gifts. I think you can tell by this picture that Janie approves of my gift selection :)
Mom was admitted into the hospital on Christmas Eve. Her platelet levels were so low that she was bleeding internally. The bleeding in her brain was causing pressure and terrible pain. They are giving her tons of platelets and whole blood. She will be having a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow to give the doctors a better idea what they are dealing with. Mom is doing much better then when she was admitted, but still no word on when she can come home. So keep her in your prayers and get out and Donate Blood!!
