ole schnikees: 2015 :: 51/52

I feel a little like a broken record: Al worked a lot this week & sucky overnights. his Monday, which was Tuesday night, he worked 11p-11a. what a horrible shift especially for the week of Christmas!

Tuesday and Wednesday we spent quite a bit of time at the neighb's house. Tuesday night we all had stir fry dinner with them before Al went to work. then Wednesday morning and afternoon T and I went over there to play and do crafts. then I bought them pizza for supper and we ate over at their house so we didn't wake Al up. T started to get a runny nose and I had a sore throat.

Thursday (Christmas eve), Al got home from work at 8 am and had to go be back at 3pm; yuck! T and I drove up to the cities in the morning so Al could sleep and so we could make it to my dad's side Christmas that afternoon. we went over to my papa's house after nap. papa bought us yummy tinucci's for supper and we visited and played with family. then I brought T back to mom's house around 730 for bedtime, and I went back to papa's for some games, ping pong and lots of laughs. we played ping pong, cards against humanity, and password. I beat my brother in ping pong!!!! it's been hard to beat him since he has such a long reach but I finally did it, and by a lot! I also kept up with my dad in ping pong, was leading at one point, and only lost 18-21!

Friday (Christmas day), mom and tyler drove up to silver bay to get my grama for Christmas on Saturday. T and I lounged a bit since T still had a runny nose and my throat was still sore. then we headed over to papa's house again since auntie lynne and auntie cindy were there for the morning. we went back to mom's house for lunch and nap, and then mom and tyler got back at the end of T's nap. that night, Tyler and I went to my cousin aryn's house to play a little more password but I was home before 10 as I was tired.

Saturday was mom's side Christmas at wayne and Sheryl's house. we spent the morning just lounging as T's runny nose had brought on a bit of a wet cough. after lunch, we drove slow and let T nap on the way up to maple grove. Trevor had a good time playing with Tula and Ryan! we opened presents before supper this year which was easier with the littles. I made them all capes, mom crocheted them scarves and crowns, and Kayli made them all pillows! :) we then did the girl dice game and I got my first adult coloring book!!! we had lots of food and cookies, and had a good time! that night, Trevor was up every 2 hours crying and coughing. i'd go in there and lay upright on the bed with him sleeping on me so he could drain a bit, then i'd put him back in the crib and he'd sleep for another 2 hours. I put a thin, full size pillow in his crib with him too to try to keep him a little elevated and he liked it! he slept on it all night and for his nap on sunday.

Al came up early sunday morning so we could do our family presents. santa came back for us :) and was good to us! trevor loved delivering and opening the presents but wasn't feeling great. he got lots of good toys and clothes from grama and unc including a scooted, a track for talking cars, a stuffed puppy with leash, adidas shoes, an adidas track suit, pj's, a bath robe, books with a reader/tablet thing, some new 'chines, and some books. Al and I got a new vacuum! and some other great clothes and books! mom made lasagna for supper and we decided to drive home after supper (in between the packer and Vikings games) so that we could all sleep in our beds and so trevor wouldn't wake grama up all night again since she had to work the next day.
