Well...let's just say it wasn't what we expected :) It turned out to be great but it started off shaky. To give you a little background, Glo went to 4:00 church on Christmas Eve and by 4:05 she was gone because she felt nausea. I'll spare you the details, but we never saw her again that night. So, we pulled off Christmas Eve dinner as best we good without her, said our goodnights and wondered "who's next''. Before we even got to sleep, Clint texted to say Samuel was now sick. We woke up to find out Glenn was sick during the night.
So at 9:00am on Christmas morning, it was Aus, Ben, Squirt and myself wondering what to do!! Should we cancel Christmas (how do you to that...and this was my year in BR which made me even sadder at the thought of canceling). We decided the show must go on, so we put the turkey and ham in the oven and then wondered...hmmm, what other food. Thankfully the rest of the family wasn't coming til later, so hopefully mom and glenn would show up.
So, here's McCullough opening up presents in front of Uncle A :)
Clint and Bethany showed up around 10:00 after a very long night and put Samuel straight to bed (he slept until 4:00).
Mom and Glenn finally rallied around noon, just in time for the Schexnayders to join us and bring some much needed Christmas cheer. Of course, this meant it was time for matching Christmas dresses!!!
YES...there is life other than kiddos...here are a few pics to prove it...
Ben insisted McCullough was cold and wanted her fleece :)
You can see what Samuel got for Christmas!!!
Proof that Glo made it!!
At about this point, she asked me if I got the plastic bag of gizzards OUT of the turkey BEFORE I put it in the oven. My reply.....NOPE!!
The lovely couple patiently waiting the arrival of their first baby in June. We find out tomorrow what it is!!!
Poor Glenn never got out of his robe!!
Well, all in all, we had a great day, quite different than we thought, but that's what family is for!!
Off to Dallas to celebrate some more!!
