Merry Christmas!

We had a very special family Christmas Eve last night. Usually we go to my mom's house to celebrate Christmas Eve, and she always has a really nice dinner and a special Christmas program with all the brothers and sisters and grandkids. Since we couldn't go over with my family because Tommy's immune system is so low, we stayed here and made our Christmas Eve just as fun and special.
My cute sister Holly brought us dinner, some yummy banana cream pie, and made us some sugar cookies for the kids to decorate for Santa. Thank you Holly, it was so delicious! So we ate dinner, had our special Christmas program with the kids singing and Tom and I told them some Christmas stories. It was fun to have it be just our little family, there was a very special spirit with us last night. After our program we had some banana cream pie and decorated our sugar cookies for Santa, they mostly ate the frosting-that's the best part! Then we watched the traditional "Christmas Story" and got them to bed. They were all so ready for bed and ready for Santa to come!
The kids woke us up bright and early to tell us Santa had come, so we jumped out of bed and opened our presents. Tommy got his millenium falcon he wanted, he was so excited! Tommy
was so concerned that Tom and I had presents to open too, he's so sweet. The kids got what they wanted, Santa was so nice to bring them what they asked for. After breakfast Tom made us his delicious "Tomcakes" as the kids call them, our pancakes. We hung out, put together the toys and played with them all morning.
It has been a great day, besides the BLIZZARD outside! Wow, what a storm! Our parents are both coming out to visit today, hopefully they can get here with the crazy weather, Tommy is really looking forward to seeing Nana and Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa.
Tomorrow we have to be to the hospital bright and early for Tommy's next treatment of Chemo and his back poke, and another bone marrow biopsy. So today we have to make sure it is as fun as possible for Tommy because the next few days are going to be pretty miserable again I think. He is not excited about going back to the hospital tomorrow, so wish him luck!
