For Christmas Eve we headed north to see Matt's family to celebrate Christmas. We started the evening off by going to church, then back to the house for dinner, then we opened gifts. I took all these great pictures throughout the evening, only to realize later in the evening that my memory card was not in my camera! I was of course disappointed and then tried to snap as many pictures as possible before we left. Here is what I got. .. unfortunately it was after all the presents were opened and Madison was already in her pajamas and looking a mess.
Finally it was time to head home. It was kind of late and we were just hoping and praying Madison would fall asleep and stay asleep. Well, she fell asleep for a while, then woke up crying. . . and crying. . . . and crying! We finally made it home and put her down in her crib, but she kept waking up and wasn't sleeping. We couldn't figure out what was going on. We even had her sleep in bed with us, which we NEVER do. I remembered that at one point she pulled on both of her ears, so at about 4 a.m., I asked Matt if we should take her into the E.R.
To be continued. . .
