December 26th

The day after Christmas, we called Kathy, Todd's stepmother, and invited her to stop by as she had told me the night before she wanted to come over. She had gifts for the kids. Adam was..and still is...kind of obsessed with his big gift we got him on Christmas, so he only got some of her attention. She stayed for a couple of hours, clearly and understandably a little sad. My favorite gift she got the kids was big cozy blankets...Lightening McQueen on Adam's and pink Winnie the Pooh pattern for Abbey.

We had plans to meet my family at Canale's for dinner. Due to the vortex of texting and phone service over my Mom's house, my sister and Jeff didn't stop by first...they all went to see Grandma Mary at the home.

So...I got the most amazing camera for Christmas...i started using it on the 24th...but on the 26th, I had the old camera with me...so these are the last photos with my trusty Kodak we got at Sam's before we had Adam....We got to Canale's and I think Daddy and Adam would have rather been home napping haha...Adam was having a rough day...tired out from all the stuff going on... The LaRoche family.. Abbey's nightcap... My sister Sarah sat across from me...we had a table in the bar area which all three guys seem to enjoy as football was on.
