This Friday, Aidan got sick and had to stay home from playschool. He woke up, threw up, and was lethargic, with a 100.5 degree fever (poor baby!). Fortunately, after he had an almost 4 hour nap (10AM-1:45PM), he felt much better (still had a cough, but didn't have the fever and was cheerful). Since Mommy and Daddy had rearranged our schedules around him, we were all able to enjoy the weekend starting early on Friday afternoon!
On Friday night, Grandma and Grandpa Ruane drove over and spent all day Saturday doing a first early round of Christmas with us. We ate a delicious Christmas breakfast (Mommy made her family's breakfast streudal and fruit salad with hot chocolate and tea), and somehow managed to mostly keep her family's tradition of opening most of the presents *after* breakfast and cleanup. (Aidan opened a few beforehand, but then didn't mind waiting, incredibly enough!) Aidan was amazed to open his new Aidan-sized kitchen, tool bench, legos and truck set, among his piles of presents, and had to stop regularly to play with different things, before moving on to open the next present.
After presents, we all took the train downtown to Rockefeller Plaza to see the giant Christmas tree and look at the Sach's 5th Avenue Christmas window displays. Aidan fell asleep on the way back and had a nice nap, after which we all played basketball and soccer at the blacktop next door. Finally, we grabbed dinner at Blue Agave (a nice new Mexican place in our neighborhood), and even ran into carolers on our way home. Grandma and Grandpa left after dinner, and after Aidan went to bed, Mommy and Daddy had fun with our new Wii and Wii fit (Thanks, Nana!) We had a very nice, Christmasy day!
