Steiner Christmas 2024

It was a busy full blessed fun day... even though Josh was a little subdued and Dad & I were oh so very tired. 

Thanks ASK for hosting

December Part 3

Friday 12.20

At a skate at the Pekin rink that night, Josh had a pretty solid crash into the rink wall. He didn't remember anything and his stomach felt funny; so we took him to the ED to rule out a brain bleed or something worse than a concussion. It was a really long night.

This was the bright loud waiting room where we initially waited for a CT scan.

 After Josh puked a few times (due to the bright loud???), we were ready to take him home for quiet dark rest when somehow they found for us a quiet dark room which helped hugely. No more puking until they took him for the CT scan, which thankfully showed nothing serious, so they sent us home with a concussion diagnosis.

Very thankful it wasn't worse... with all the hours kids have spent on the ice over the years, it's kind of amazing that this is our first ED visit. 

Yes. 

Very thankful.

Gingerbread Houses

Saturday 12.14

So Dad & I got home around 7pm after driving in rain literally all day. It was rather exhausting and we were so glad to get home. SJJ were hosting tyg, and this is what met us ~~

😊

Kids counted off into teams, and each team made a gingerbread house. I alternated between unpacking and watching. 

While the judges did their thing, I got px of each team with their house. These were amazing creations. I was impressed with the talent!

Team 1

Team 4

Team 3

Team 2

I think they were watching the judges do the shake test. Some houses didn't fare too well.

Beautiful HHH singing with the piano while the judges deliberated; then acapella Unbounded Grace (even more beautiful) before judges announced the winner.

Esteemed judges had a tough job! After all the points were tallied, they announced the winner ~~

Team 3!

Fun activity but omy what a mess😆. Which is why I took off for bed around then. SJJ and their very capable friends did a great job cleaning up, thank you very much!
