Ours was very, very merry, thanks for asking!
We actually got off to a rough start, now that you mention it... Christmas eve day I worked 10-3, then Patrick had a fever toward bedtime. He woke up crying a few times in the night so I finally ended up "sleeping" (HA!) with him until Christmas morning. First thing, he threw up. I'm thinking THAT'S an activity I'd like to avoid turning into a Christmas tradition! So once he got cleaned up we all went downstairs, and his feverish lethargy continued until the Advil and Ginger Ale kicked in, when he finally agreed to open presents. Like these snakes.
I know it was the fever talking, but who doesn't even want to open presents?! Well, Eli did, for one! It took nearly 4 hours to open gifts because each had to be thoroughly played with first.
The morning continued as previously planned, gifts opened and cinnamon rolls eaten and all that jazz, and it was really very nice. We missed church (sick), but we got naps (tired!). We missed great-grandma visiting (sick), but we caught Santa (believe!). We missed going outside on such a mild day (sick), but put mileage on the hippity-hops indoors (not TOO sick).
And we missed seeing all of you, but got extra meds to help Patrick feel better so we can see you soon! Also, don't you just love Caroline's Santa suit?

I think it's awesome that Eli managed to end up without pants between one picture and the next.
Poor Patrick :( I'm glad you guys had a good day anyway! Cute pictures! And yes, Caroline is freakin CUTE!
