It has been a bit of a rough summer for the kids, as you have already been told. Daddy being in the hospital certainly didn't make things any better. So what do we do? We have Christmas in August, naturally.The other day I declared to be Christmas day for our family (minus presents, of course). The kids got really into and had a great time. They made approximately 2 million snowflakes and paper chains, threw them up all over the house and set up Santa's sleigh in the family room (with eight lovely reindeer, aka: chairs) while we listened to Christmas music (something I pretty much want to do all year long anyway!). Then we made two types of Christmas ornaments, watched Christmas movies and finished off the evening with our traditional chocolate fondue.
The best part of the day? The unknown Christmas gift: daddy came home from the hospital!!
That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard! You are such an amazing mom! I'm sure they had such a blast and were so excited that their daddy could come home! Let Cade know that Miss Hannah says hello!! :)
