Merry Christmas!!!

We woke up to a very happy and excited little girl this morning. She was excited to see that Santa came and brought her the two stuffed animals she asked for and some finger puppets and stocking stuffers.

She has been intoxicatingly happy. She has gotten in to the spirit of both the giving and receiving and went shopping with Jim for my presents and painted a picture on canvas for Jim.

We are heading to Molly's classmate's, Victor's, grandparents for Christmas "dinner" this afternoon, which should be a lot of fun. This is our first Christmas as a family without extended family and it has been a bit of an adjustment.

We went for ice cream last night and then drove to find some fun Christmas lights. We came home to sit by the fire and eat and enjoy being together. While Molly was standing eating her dinner she fell and it seems she might have a new fracture in her Right Tibia (the one with the cast on it). I was able to contact another OI family - that had experienced the same thing - and was assured we could at least wait through the night without an x-ray. She slept well and woke up happy, so either the fracture is very minor or the cast is doing an effective job of splinting it. Either way we are very thankful to not have to spend Christmas in the ER.
