Poor Chris has been confined to a chair for so days. We had been invited to a surprise birthday party and was unsure if we would be able to attend, but by the time I had come back from dropping Madie off at church (the only puddle who wanted to attend today. Ainsley said she only preferred to hear sermons from Daddy.) Chris was really ready to hit the road. I have been able to run a few errands but not Chris.
So we left as soon as we were able to collect ourselves together. Chris said he thought we would only able able to stay for about thirty minutes, but true to his nature we stayed for three hours! As exhausted as I was, I enjoyed being with people again too outside of my house or Chris’ hospital room. 
We had some friends come over the night before and bring us dinner. Chris was exhausted by the end of the night but you could tell by the smile on his face that he was happy. He is certainly an extrovert who gets his energy from being with people!
As a side note, it had been fun to hear Chris piece together the story of the accident. He really doesnt remember much of anything. Pain will do that to you.
His energy is getting better, but every time he goes out his arm and hand swell up. So we have to do it all in spurts. But the kids really enjoyed themselves too.
Then we returned home for a family movie night. Guardians of the Galaxy was a delightful and fun movie! We all laughed hard. Now tomorrow we are off to visit family for another Christmas.
