It's Christmas!

Today was our family Christmas with Chris' family!  We all slept in....but woke up to a white Christmas :)
We were ready for this day...It was nice to see family and hangout.  This is also the first day we haven't had school or have to be in Boston since we been home.  Mark loves home school..but the trips to Boston (we have only done twice) are so draining!  Mark did well with 95% of his treatment yesterday...In the last 5 minutes his blood pressure dropped and he passed out.  That is not only a bit scary, but it was about a 30 minute hold up.  He had 2 minutes left on the dialysis timer.  They had to get his blood back into him and take his blood pressure a bunch of times.  Once he was settled we finished up and headed home.  We did not get home until about 7 last night.  We ate dinner, Mark went to bed, Chris went out and I had a small BIG glass of wine!
Today is a different day for us...It's Christmas!  No stress, no worries.  We ate good, relaxed and watched Mark open lots of presents!  He was in his glory.  It was so nice to see him enjoy himself.  He is eating well, walking a bit more and happy.  
Just see for yourself:


Mark & Auntie Carol made a Christmas kite!





I Love this face!



As you can see we were spoiled by the family.  It was a great day...We are blessed! 
 Tonight we heading out to Kyle's 30th Birthday Party!  It is going to take me an hour to get Mark settled for us to go!  My Dad is watching him, Mark is so excited!  I'm excited to see all my best buds in one place.
Tomorrow will be one more Christmas with my parents and Sunday Funday!  Life is not so bad these days ;)
