This year hardly felt like Christmas at all with everything we had going on. However, we did get to spend some time with close family and friends, plus our own little Christmas Miracle.
The week after Ash was born Blue Lemon had their 3rd annual Lemmy Awards. I had helped plan this event and wasn't about to miss it. So we left Ashton with his very expensive nanny (aka the NICU) and got dressed up for the night. Can I just tell you how good it felt to fit into something other than sweats?!
Red Carpet night, with yummy food
and good friends.
We didn't make it to any family parties, or to see the lights, we did most of our Christmas shopping in between NICU visits, and we didn't even begin to think about making treats for the neighbors...
But we did have our own little Christmas Miracle
December 15th at about 11:00pm we got to bring the best present in the world home with us after 18 long days in the NICU.
We shut our doors and didn't leave the house till after New Years. Jason's Parents and Crystal and Skyler came to visit Christmas Eve. Jason and I had our traditional Chinese take out for dinner and spent the next 24 hours in a Lord of the Rings Marathon.
Only to be interrupted by my entire family coming up Christmas Day and surprising us with Christmas Dinner and one of the best sibling gift exchanges we've had (we decided on a $2 limit this year = creative and funny presents).
Jason and I opted out of presents this year and took to snuggling Ashton as much as we could.
Definitely can't complain.
