All that praying on Christmas eve must have worked because Nicholas woke up Christmas day feeling great! Even though he was feeling good, Jeff and I decided it would be best for him to stay home from Christmas mass because we don't have a car bed for him to travel safely yet. So Ella and I ventured to mass with my mom & dad, Eric & Tina, and Brett. My parents held Ella most of the mass and she was a perfect angel the entire time. It broke my heart to have only part of our family there, but I also know it was best for Nicholas to stay home with his daddy. After church we went over to my parents' house for brunch and then opened gifts. My brothers both left in the afternoon to attend family gatherings with their girlfriends' families but we stayed at my parents' house all day with the kids. In fact, we didn't leave until 9:00 p.m. The kids took naps there and Jeff and I played Scrabble with my mom. We ate and talked and watched A Christmas Story movie. It was a wonderful way to spend our Christmas!
