Our plans to travel to Hometown this morning were thwarted by sickness. TT, who has been on antibiotics for an ear infection for the past week, spent most of Christmas day complaining that her ear was hurting again and the entire side of her face was throbbing. DH started developing a sore throat.
I sent them both to urgent care this morning. DH has strep and TT has a sinus infection. So we've delayed our trip.
Although we received a text on Christmas morning that DH's grandpa was declining, there hasn't been much change. The day was tense, constantly watching the phone, but I am thankful that he made it past Christmas.
The girls had a good day. Last night SS came downstairs and gave me a kiss and said "I love you! This was the best Christmas ever!" All she wanted for Christmas was "band merch" and concert tickets. The tickets were so cheap that I bought four--enough for each twin to go and take a friend, and she got plenty of band merch, too. It's been a long time since we've seen them so excited about something.
TT got Doctor Who Monopoly, and we spent most of the day playing. PS complained a bit, but I know she had fun. It was a great family day, despite the sad undertone.
