Christmas at home

On Christmas eve we had some friends over and had an early afternoon Christmas meal. Tyler had some presents to give Peighton and Reese, and Tyler had a couple gifts under the tree from them as well as from Uncle Jared and Aunt Jessica. He wore himself out playing with Reese and Peighton and all his new toys. As tradition for us we opened our stockings later that night. Chad and I were so excited for Christmas morning we could hardly stand it. Unfortunately Chad woke at about 2:00 am Christmas morning feeling terrible. He tried to gather strength to enjoy Christmas morning breakfast with us and opening the presents but spent the rest of the day on the couch. His fever got up to 104 at times. He did scare me a bit so I went between playing with Tyler and all his new things and taking care of Chad. By the next morning he still didn't feel much better so Tyler and I took him to the doctor and found out it was strep. It wasn't the Christmas we had anticipated but he is much better now and making up for time he lost out of playing with Tyler. Even though Tyler had no idea about this Christmas we know next year he will probably be much more excited for Santa.
