Thursday:
What a fun, yummy day!! Josh, me, and the kids headed up to my parents house for the day. We were also joined by some family friends and overall, it was a great day. The food was amazing, we ate wayyyy too much, got to take home some yummy leftovers, and Grammy/Pop Pop ended up taking Nathan and Lindsey for a sleepover. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Friday:
On Friday, Josh and I woke up early and headed up the road to buy our Christmas tree. Its the first year that we have a real tree and it was fun picking one out and bringing it home. It was pouring rain that morning, so we were in and out in about 10 minutes haha. We ended up with a beautiful tree though, perfectly shaped, YEA! After that, we headed back up to my parents house where we picked up Nathan and Lindsey. We ended up eating some yummy Thanksgiving leftovers, playing a little Wii, and then heading home. When we got home, we pulled all the Christmas decorations out and got the house all festive. Chippy our Elf even came back to our house from the North Pole, quite exciting!!
Saturday:
In the morning, we took Nathan on a helicopter tour of Seattle. We had bought the deal for his birthday, but just now got around to using it. It was a gorgeous day and Grammy/Pop Pop watched the other two kids. We saw amazing views and had a blast!! Josh finished hanging some of the Christmas lights outside and we ran some errands. We battled Walmart and some other stores, but didnt find too much since things were sort of picked over by that point. We also moved all the kids toys upstairs to the loft and out of the downstairs "dining room". Its a huge change, but turned out awesome, and now our downstairs is free of kid toys LOL!
Sunday:
Well, Josh had planned on finishing Christmas lights that day and running some more errands, BUT.....that morning, we were sitting on the couch watching tv when Caleb came over and tipped over Joshs coffee mug. It was empty, but since we didnt know that, Josh jerked quickly to catch it and ended up dislocating his shoulder. Immediately we tried a few times to get it to go back in, but realized we needed to head off to the ER. Lindsey was still sleeping, so we woke her up, packed up the kids, phoned Grammy and Pop Pop to come down to get the kids, and away we went to the hospital. We were at the first hospital for a few hours, but they werent able to set it back in. So, they sent us to another hospital. Once we headed there and he got all checked in, they sedated him more and an orthopedic surgeon came in this time to try to set it himself. He said if he wasnt able to do it, they would have to do surgery. Luckily, after a few more hours (7 hours since dislocation), the surgeon was able to get it back in place. He does need to have surgery within a week or two still since its a weakened shoulder and needs to be repaired, but for now he has an arm sling on and is immobile (arm only) until surgery. Not the day we had planned, but we are definitely grateful that he is okay, in no pain, etc.
