An almost hibernation day

It's been a slow, easy day around this house.  We had a somewhat self-imposed hibernation day, due to a concussion and trip to the ER for a certain little boy yesterday. We needed to keep an eye on him and lay low and that's just what we did.  But we also had some lovely holiday fun.  Donuts and bagels for breakfast while we watched a movie.  (Don't think we'd ever done that before.)  Christmas coffee for the grown-ups (thanks, Amber!).  Making treats to eat and share and packing boxes off to friends and family. I also crossed off a major to-do: the Christmas cards!  Lots of help from Haven with those and it feels good to see them all lined up, ready to go.  Some presents got wrapped and a new list was made of what I have left to do.  We watched some football and ate some snacks.  It was a lovely day, all around.  Productive, but in a low-stress way.  Loved it.

And the boy is doing fine. We kept a close eye on him last night, waking him every few hours.  After checking him at 3:30am he decided it was an okay time to be up for the day.  Let's just say Mama and Mati got a lot of quality time in today.  (And I loved it!)  We had all the classic symptoms yesterday- vomiting, dizziness, out-of-sorts- so it was a relief to see my little guy back in action today.  Even at 4am!

The snow piling up outside only added to the almost hibernation day we had.  Couldn't have written it better myself!

Oh poor Mati! So sorry he had an accident! Sounds like he rested up and you all enjoyed some relaxing family time.

No more ER trips for anyone this year!! We've seen our fair share! I'm glad to hear Mati is okay! Donuts always make the day go better!
