What a wonderful christmas we had!

As Christmas approached Joe and I weren't sure what we were going to do.  Doctor's orders were to keep Boston at home away from large groups of people and especially away from children.  A common cold if given to Boston could develop into RSV.

We were prepared to miss our family parties on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but not without sadness.  Joe's sister, brother-in-law, and his two nieces were in town from California.  One of the nieces, Jessica was born 19 days after Boston and we hadn't had a chance to meet her yet.  Nor had Joe's sister had a chance to meet Boston.  Also, my sister, brother-in-law, and my niece and nephew were in town from Arizona. My sister came to visit me in the hospital but had to head back to Arizona the DAY before Boston decided to come. 

Joe and I so badly wanted to figure out a way to to see our families and let our sisters see Boston. 
But how?

Well da da da da, once again moms to the rescue.

Joe's family was willing to move their entire Christmas Day to the 23rd. Special thanks to them. 
My mom and dad watched Boss while we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and then hours of opening presents. We were spoiled!
Then on Christmas Day Joe's parents came and watched our boy while we celebrated with my family.  We made it in time for lots of bacon and presents. Again, we were too spoiled!

Thank you everyone for being so giving and allowing us to be a part of the christmas celebrations! We can't wait for next year when we are finally able to include Boston!
