Festivities this year were lots of fun. Aidan got to make gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies, which we decorated afterward.
My sister, Anna, his aunt, came on Christmas Eve and she brought her dog Jasper. He's such a fun dog and Aidan loved him. We all got to play with Jasper and since we can't have pets where we live, it was really nice to get a good dose of dog while we were out there in the country.
Once my sister arrived, though, I fell ill. I was so out of it, I kept on calling Anna my middle sister's name, Alise. It was maddening and I think Anna was getting a bit miffed. I don't blame her, and fortunately, the next day I was starting to feel better and my mistakes vanished.
Then Golf got my sickness. He was a day behind me! That night Aidan had a minor fever too, so we all got to be sickos.
All of us just relaxed and watched a lot of television, which I never do here. Honestly. I never watch TV! I never even opened my laptop when I was there. I checked email and some of my affiliate and advertising earnings, but that was it. I was in full recuperation mode and now that I'm back I feel so refreshed.
Aidan made out with loads of gifts this year. For Christmas 2010 Aidan got:
- Iron Man mask - the fancy kind that opens from the front and has lights in the eyes and sounds from the movie from Golf and me
- Iron Man action figure in a car from his friend Joshua
- Toy Story glow board drawing toy from his Aunt Anna
- Blast Off Buzz Lightyear action figure from his Aunt Anna (must do a review on this one!)
- Green recorder from his Grandmother
- Spider rain boots from his Grandmother
- 3 new pairs of pants, one shirt and one pair of shoes from both Grandparents
- Construction LEGO vehicles from some very kind neighbors Rosanna and Laura
This boy did very well and so a big Thank You to friends and family!
Now we shall see if Aidan can stay up til midnight this Friday for New Year's Eve. Ha! :)
