We thought 2010 was a crazy Christmas with the big blizzard that threw off everyone's plans.
Christmas 2012 proved to be MUCH crazier. With Clay's due date being December 31st, it was hard to make plans not knowing when he was going to decide to join us and when he did, when he would get to come home from the hospital.
As we all know now, Clay made his big appearance a little ahead of schedule on 12-19-11 and came home from the NICU on 12-25. This was the best Christmas present we could have asked for - our whole family at home, together. That being said, I was SO not ready for Christmas. After spending 7 days and nights at the hospital, no presents were wrapped and Santa was not prepared for his trip to our house!
Luckily, Wyatt and Hazel were so happy for us to be home they did not even notice that Christmas happened a few days late at our house. My step sister-in-law welcomed her new baby boy, Daxton, on 12-16 so a delayed Christmas was welcomed by all on the Turpen side. With five Christmases in all, the last one finally wrapped up the last weekend in January. Needless to say, Wyatt and Hazel are going to be very disappointed to learn next year that Christmas is not a month long celebration!
