Christmas time 2013

Christmas 2013 was a bit different from previous christmas's primarily due to grams and papa not hosting this year. Instead we went over to Dan and Nancy's for Christmas Eve and spent Christmas day at our house (and grams and papa and Porter too came over).
Santa came to our house! He delivered so many presents for everyone. Hazel and Dottie got a new jeep car that Hazel drove Dottie around in. Hazel got the hang of driving pretty quickly and Dottie got the hang of putting the car in reverse while Hazel was driving much to her dismay. It was quite a sight to see in the condo parking garage levels.
Hazel also got the horse stable she was hoping for in addition to a beanbag chair, clothes, new underwear, musical instruments (thanks Jill), and other games and books.
Dottie got a piggy bank, a whack-o-mole type game, mega blocks, books and pajamas (ones that won't slide on you!). Our stockings were filled to the brim with all sorts of goodies.
Everything was fun with the exception of Dottie getting sick. Poor little thing had a high fever and just wasn't her normal self. She wasn't sleeping despite being pumped with tylenol and none of us got a whole lot of sleep. We kept her home for a few days from school and finally saw Dr Lindsay who diagnosed Dottie has having a double ear infection and possible pneumonia.
Merry Christmas Hazel and Dottie! The holidays are so wonderful with you around!
