Christmas Eve 2012

It's Christmas Eve and the Hoffman family is sick. Yup everyone is coughing & sneezing, has a runny nose, soar throat, aches and pains you name it. We are just miserable. Liam was sick last week he brought something home from school he got over it fast. No fever for him just cough and congestion. Blake then got it same thing no fever cough and congestion and a bad runny nose. I on the other hand always seem to get the worse of it. I don't sleep well lately and I'm the one who always has to keep moving even when I'm sick never have time to just rest so I felt worse. Chris was okay  until today when he lost his voice. We had planned so many things today. We decided to just keep it simple. I didn't make it to the Christmas Eve service at church, we made a quick dinner and watched Christmas movies and snuggled up together. In the evening we read T'was The Night Before Christmas and we also watched the movie. We read the story of Jesus' birth and opened up one present. The boys and I walked around the neighborhood at night to see everyones Christmas lights which they really liked and we all needed to get some fresh air. The boys help sprinkle magic reindeer food on the lawn and put cookies & milk out for Santa. The boys were all nestled in their beds by 9 p.m. ready for Santa.
