Holidays 2019

Since having Vincent, the holidays are very chaotic, but fun.  Here is a blog about what we did in the holidays.

Christmas Eve Pat worked until 11:30am. We then headed out to buy the food we need for Vincent’s birthday party on the 26^th. After running all our errands, we headed to my dad’s for supper. It was a fun afternoon and evening. I played card games with my grandma, Vincent played with Chika and his cousin Alycia. He got an ice cream cart as a gift from them.  After dinner around 6:30pm, Vincent was really tired. He requested to go home to bed. We decided to bring him home and go to bed as he asked.

On Christmas Day morning, Vincent was awake and ready to open gifts at 5:30am. It took him approximately 1.5 hours to open all of them as he wanted to play with them. He did really good when it came to unwrapping. He didn’t need much help.  After all the opening of the gifts, we all took a nap as we had a dinner in Kanata at my aunts and uncles. Vincent loved playing with his older cousins Jeremy and Rose Anne. He got a lot of their one and one attention in which made him feel special. Around 7pm that evening is when he requested to go to bed. Therefore, we left and came back home.

Boxing Day morning was fun. We went to eat breakfast as a family at Perkins. We chose Perkins because all other restaurants were still closed.  In the afternoon, there was a dozen people that came for his birthday party. Vincent was very well loved and spoiled.

The day after his birthday, the stomach bug hit our house. We all got it. Vincent felt better by evening ,but had a hard time getting over the virus which caused up to spend New Years Eve in the hospital ER. They provided him with IV fluids and made sure his blood-work was normal. We were released around 1am and then came home to bed. On New Years Day we just relaxed and watched TV.

Here are some pictures of the holidays. There are more on my facebook page.
