On Tuesday 12/22/09, My mom, nieces Thea and Delila, Leah and I made sugar cookies. Thea was the only one really interested in the mixing of the dough portion, but they all got into the rolling of the dough, cutting of cookies, and of course- the best part- decoration. Well, Delila was mostly into just eating the frosting. I was amazed at how precise Leah has become with her decorating skills!
On Wednesday 12/23/09, Joe's Dad, Shorty, came to visit from Michigan. Leah was just too excited to see him. It is nice that she no longer needs time to warm up to him as she did when she was a baby/toddler. She remembers him now!
On Thursday 12/24/09, we spent the day with my family at my parent's house. We spent the day hanging out, making and eating Ravioli (yum), opening LOTS of presents, and going to church to remember why we celebrate this season! Leah was so tired, that she asked me to put out the cookies and oatmeal (for the Reindeer) when we got home because she was too tired!
On Friday 12/25/09, Santa came last night!! Leah was so excited when she woke up (not until 7am!). She came into our room- Santa came, and he ate the cookies, and he brought back the bowl after the reindeer ate the oatmeal, but I don't see a scooter under the tree. Then when we got up to open presents, she pointed to one and said, maybe that one is my scooter (she was right). She was most excited about that scooter- it has wheels that sparkle, and a place for her barbie to ride with her!
Later on Christmas Day, we went to Joe's Aunt's house to celebrate with his family. Leah had fun playing with Emily, Maggie and Molly. She also got to open even more presents. Wow.
When asked her favorite presents that she got- Handy Manny Repair Shop, Puppy in a purse, Scooter, and Sparkly shoes.
Yesterday we went back to my parent's house to help make more Ravioli as we were not our usual speedy selves on Christmas Eve. My mom and I took Leah to the neighbor's house who have an ice rink to try out her new skates. She was having a great time...until a nasty fall. She immediatly started screaming, but I wasn't sure how much was fear and how much was hurt. After many attempts to settle her down, we brought her back to my parent's house. She did not really calm down all night.
Today- Shorty had to leave to return home to Michigan. We noticed that Leah's wrist was swollen, but decided to wait to see how she did at school. When I called the school around 11am, I was told she had beem complaining about her wrist hurting. This concerned me- she is a drama queen at home, but NOT at school. So, Joe brought her into the clinic this afternoon to learn that she had a radius fracture near her wrist (greenstick fracture). It is on her right arm this time (remember, it was only last March she had one on her left arm/wrist) which causes more difficulty as it is her dominant hand. This one is also a little more severe, and will require a cast. Currently she has a splint with an ace wrap on to get the swelling down, and her cast will be put on Thursday. Leah is supposed to start Ice Skating Lessons on Jan 16, Doctor said she could still participate!
Hope you all had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. Have a safe and Happy NEW YEAR!
