After getting a little buzz from his nebulizer Adler had about as much fun as could be had playing with some toiletries the hospital gave to his mom. He didn't know he was missing Christmas and managed to be a pretty good sport in the hospital.
He was pretty sick little guy and even the energy burst from the nebulizer didn't last long. Kari's main concern was, of course, for Adler but she also wanted to make sure LT had his Christmas experience so I went home to do Santa duty.
LT put out the traditional serving of bread & honey, some Chex cereal, cookies and some water for Santa.
The next morning (not too early, thankfully) opening stockings was serious business. 
LT got some art supplies including some glitter glue (which he loves). He insisted that it was for decorating cookies.
The motorcycle was pretty cool.
Perhaps the most exciting gift of the morning was a juicer. We had to try it out immediately. 
LT just being LT while making his juice.
Then enjoying the fruits of his labor.
We found out Alder was being released from the hospital so we went to pick him up. It took a little while to get discharged but the boys enjoyed playing with the toys they had in the kid's area of the hospital.
Once we were all home together we had a little family holiday time together. Alder looked to his big brother to see how this Christmas thing is done.
And he even kind of got the idea of opening presents. 
The boys got some new legos so LT can build ever taller towers that Adler will knock over.
It wasn't the ideal Christmas we'd imagined but it turned out okay.
