We had a great Christmas, including celebrations with both sides of the family. I love seeing our nephew open his gifts - the Transformers were a big hit, though it did take Kevin and me both working on it to figure out how to transform it back to a vehicle (how is a 4 year old supposed to do it?). We received many wonderful gifts from our families - my favorites: a spice rack for our pantry door (complete with installation by my father-in-law), and a fireplace set from my parents. - With the work we've done and gifts we've received the house decoration is really getting complete! We finally have a place to put up a set of clocks we got 2 years ago, it really fills in the wall above the stair landing.
We were able to spend time with a lot of great people over the holidays - I had a girlie movie night (Julie & Julia) right before Christmas, and we were able to spend time with Kevin's grandmother and husband, and had another movie night with my sister, brother and his wife after Christmas. We love having people over to the new house and hope to have more gatherings in 2010!
On Christmas Eve, we had a scare with Smokey. He had a seizure, first one in all the time we've had him. It was scary, mostly because I wasn't sure what was happening and we love our crazy little dog. He came out of it really quickly and has been back to his normal self ever since. We talked to the emergency vet that night and followed up with our usual vet once they opened up after the holiday. We had a quiet night that night and have kept an eye on him ever since. According to both vets, he may not have another one for months or years, or maybe never.
Man, dog ailments are so scary - mostly because they can't tell you what's going on. Hopefully that was his one and only seizure.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, those transformers are tough!
