Before Christmas

The weekend before Christmas Bryce's baseball team had their Christmas party.  It was fun until the last 5 minutes.  All the boys were playing tag (in the dark) and Bryce tripped and landed on his shoulder on a rock.  He was in so much pain I knew he needed to go to the ER (it was 9pm so Urgent Care was closed of course).  When we first got to the ER they thought it was dislocated so they started an IV so he could be somewhat sedated while they popped it back in.  The X-ray showed it was a fractured collar bone instead of a dislocated shoulder.  This is a good thing!  Breaks heal better.  He was in a ton of pain the first few days but is much better now.  He still wears his sling most of the time but can move his arm a little now.  

 Poor thing was so upset about this happening on the first night of Christmas Break!  
We got a new dog!!!  Meet Luke Duke :)  He's a 3 year old rescue that was found with the dog my parents got a few months ago. He was in rehab for a broken pelvis so we got him mid December and fell in love right away!  
 He was a good couch buddy for Bryce when he was hurting too bad to do much else.  
Sunday before Christmas Aunt Sandra came for a visit!  We weren't able to get to Montgomery this Christmas so she was sweet enough to drive to us!  
 She showered the kids with gifts like always!  


 Monday we went downtown to the Peabody and for lunch at Hueys.  
We had a great visit with Aunt Sandra!!

The week before Christmas was very rainy.  Luckily I had bought a pre-assembled gingerbread house months ago and found it one of the rainy days! The kids both enjoyed decorating. This was our best house yet!
