Hello all!
Well, we're off! The holiday season has arrived! It's cold and it finally feels like Christmastime :) We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
On Thursday we hosted T-dinner at our home for my side of the family. We had a great time :) My Mom & Ted took the girls for an over-nighter that night. What a blessing! Dave and I went to see a movie and then drove around looking for ANY place that would be open for a hot cocoa or coffee. Nothing was open-not even the golden arches was lit up!
We got up at 3:25AM and arrived at Toys R Us at 3:45AM. We waited outside in the COLD until it opened at 5am. This was the first year I've gone out on "Black Friday". Dave and I had such a fun time doing this together. We went to 7 stores and got most of our Christmas shopping done! We were done around 9am!
We picked up the girls and headed to the Olin Thanksgiving for some more yummy food :)
After coming home, the girls napped while Dave hung Christmas lights outside. It was getting darker out as he was getting the lights on the last tree so he couldn't see very well. He stepped right into a tree branch. It caught his eye pretty good! The girls and I at that point were watching from inside b/c it was so cold out. We just saw him holding his head and wondering what had happened. He was in some pretty intense pain but refused to go the Urgent Care. So this morning, I called the Family Doc and got him in. The Dr numbed his eye and turned off the lights to use the UV light. It was crazy! You could see the jagged CUT on his PUPIL! He got an RX for an antibiotic and to add insult to injury he had to get a tetanus shot! The nurse put a patch on his eye and sent us off! The numbing wore off and he is back to being in pain again. Advil isn't helping, so a friend of the family gave him some stronger medication to help him out. We're hoping that will help him. Poor guy! I have to do a little bragging.....he's a tough guy! He's never been one to be a baby while being sick or in pain. I'm so blessed! ;)
We started decorating the inside of our home today when another mishap occurred. We hung our stockings on the fireplace mantle and Emma didn't like where hers was so in an attempt to switch it around the "O" in NOEL came crashing down on her foot. The letters are pretty heavy! Her fourth toe is blue, has a cut going up the foot. Her little toe could possibly be broken but with toes there isn't much you can do. She's been a trooper allowing us to put ice on it. She's doing just fine this evening.
It's been an eventful holiday weekend :)

Oh my goodness!!! What have you guys been drinking over there at Olin land?! Hahaha! Poor Dave and Emma!!
I guess that your title for this blog is good... "In the life of an olin..." I feel sorry for Dave and at the sametime know the pain, as I had the patch in march when I scratched my eye. Glad to hear that yall had a great Thanksgiving and that you enjoyed your shopping trip.
You guys are NUTS! Waking up at 3:30 to go shopping. :) Hope you got some good deals! I haven't decided if I should give in to the shopping pressure next year or not. :)
And poor Dave... hope his eye heals quickly.
