Christmas Eve day started out so good!!! We played around the house in the morning and then around 1:00 we met the family that was in town down at "All Star Lanes Bowling". Grammy, Uncle Russ, Aunt Ali, Georgia, Macy, Grant, Walt, Aunt Katie, Uncle Rich, Nicholas, Clara, and Ezra, and our family. Little Ezra was the hit because he was dressed in the cutest Santa Claus outfit. Alegra couldn't get enough of Ezra. We all got turns bowling and it was a fun way to spend time together. That evening we went over to Grammy's house with Russ's family. Rich's family was having dinner with Katie's family that evening. Dinner was going well until Alegra climbed up a chair but slipped and fell and the way she hit her head she sliced her eyelid right above her eye. It was very scary. Luckily Ali was there who is a nurse and she could help us. We decided we needed to take her to the ER to get stitches. Unfortunately we started dinner a little later than normal for Christmas Eve so it was already 7:30 when we loaded the kids in the car to go to the ER. Grammy tried keeping Cruz but he was scared too and wanted to go with. Luckily we were the only ones at the ER. It still took some time and was very traumatic, but we weren't there all night. They had to put some numbing cream on the area of the eye and let it sit. Then we basically had to straight jacket Alegra down to the bed to get the stitches. She was screaming and it was pretty awful. Shawn and Cruz had gone out to fill out paperwork and actually that was probably the best thing because that might have traumatized Cruz. It was hard enough on me to hold Alegra down (with 2 other nurses). Luckily she calmed down once the doctor was done with the 3 stitches. Her eye is black and blue and it makes me so sad to see her little face hurt, but in the whole scheme of things, it could have been so much worse. We got home by 9:15 and got the kids to bed and both Shawn and I were exhausted. Luckily the kids both slept well and slept until about 7 in the morning.
