David was in charge of making sweet potatoes. They were delicious and he was very proud.
I made Eliza and Fenton a little desk out of an extra crib. I painted the desk part with chalk paint. I decorated the sides and put up large oil pan catchers on the side so they can magnet up all of their art. They loved that they had their own little space to put their stuff. Orginally I made for Eliza to have a place to color but she loves to have a place of her own.
Also Christmas Eve turned out to be a bit more exciting than anticipated. That night our cousins came over and played and one of them stepped on Fenton's toe. He said it really hurt. We just kissed it better thinking nothing of it. As the evening went on Fenton was limping and hopping. His toe must be really hurting him. I looked at it and it looked red but not broken. I gave him Tylenol and put him to bed but he just cried and cried. By 1:00 AM I gave him more medicine but he was barely sleeping. By 4:00 I knew something was wrong so I took him to the ER. He got his toe X-rayed but it wasn't broken. They perscribed some tylenol with codeine and anitbiotics. That helped him sleep. The next day the toe looked super bad, all swollen purple, red and white. There was an infection already. We popped it and it helped with the pressure but poor kid was in some major pain. After about a week the toenail and the top half of his toenail skin came off. That made for a long Christmas eve for me.
We visited Temple square and it was beautiful. The kids were cold but I asked Eliza after we got back in the warm car if she liked and she said she thought it was amazing.
The desk before Christmas
Our Christmas Eve with a fire stockings hung and christmas cookies and milk. Merry Christmas to all. It is such a joyous time to be with family and remember the beginning of our Savior.
