We were all together! For a while, we worried Dexter might still be in hospital. Instead, he was with us and we were all able to celebrate together.
We made food for the reindeer (which they scattered all over the deck! As reindeer often do!) We left Santa a drink and some chocolates with a little thank you note.
And, we the kids all slept in the same room.
We all went to Dexter’s aunt’s house for lunch. The kids spent the day playing in the pool and with toys. Dexter can’t get his brace wet, so he sat with the adults. He hardly complained all day and was so resilient about not being able to join the others in the pool.
He really is a great kid.
We hope everyone had a happy Christmas, filled with love and laughter.
