Christmas

This Christmas was good one even though Jake had to go through some scary things in order to be home. Originally Jake was supposed to work over Christmas. However, when at work the medical person on site saw some strange things with his heart and sent him to Fairbanks to get a better opinion. Well in Fairbanks they gave him an EKG which they thought showed WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) and wanted him to see a cardiologist. It turns out that he did so Jake had to have microscopic heart surgery and with the recovery time allowed him to be home for Christmas. We had a little extra money this year so we had some nice presents and were able to spoil each other. Jake got me a Nook which I am loving. I got Jake an office chair, a watch and some clothes.

Since Christmas was on Sunday we went to Church and 9:00 so we could make it to my Grandma’s traditional Christmas morning breakfast. Since Jake and I are not morning people we decided to open our presents Christmas eve. We went to Church at Shelly and Jason’s, partly because it was at 9:00 and also because Jason was speaking. It was a great talk. Abby was funny during it, Shelly lifted her up so she could see Daddy and she kept saying Daddy loud enough so Jason would hear her. She kept saying it over and over again so Jason finally responded. “Hey baby girl” it was too cute. When he was done Shelly let Abby go and she ran up to daddy who was sitting up on the chairs behind the podium.

After church we went to Grandma’s for breakfast. Jake’s parents were not in town so we hung out at Grandma Burns’ for awhile then went home and relaxed the rest of the day.
