Christmas 2016

Throw up. A fever. Lots of laughs. Smiles. Magic & Christmas cheer! Just a few words to sum up our Christmas weekend.

I’m laid up not feeling well at all with a fever and a really bad cold that I am hoping is not the flu so I figured right now would be a great time to update the blog.
We did our usual holiday routine. Christmas Eve was spent at Pappi and GranDee’s and Christmas Day we went to Papa’s and then Grammy and Pa’s.

Christmas Eve Logan threw up right as we were about to open presents. WONDERFUL! He was okay after that. Our little man has mastered the puke and rally! We continued on through the night and I was hopeful after a good nights sleep he would feel better. Christmas morning he woke up and wasn’t really into opening presents and then right after that, threw up again. After some rest on the couch he seemed totally back to himself.

Mike and I went back and forth a million times on what we should do. Should we stay home? Have Mike stay home with Logan while I take the kids out? Have Mike take the girls to his dads while I stayed home with Logan and then switch and he stays home with Logan while I take the girls to Grammy and Pa’s? We came to the conclusion that Logan seemed a lot better and with such a big family it’s unfortunate but chances are someone is always going to be sick. If we stayed home everytime someone wasn’t feeling well we’d probably never go out. Thankfully Logan never got sick again and a fun time was had by all!

On the way home Christmas night I started feeling really sick and spiked a fever at 102.5. I put the kiddos to bed and went right to sleep myself and sadly have been out of commission since. Thanks Mikey for playing Mr Mom!

The kids, as usual, were spoiled rotten by their grandparents. They even got a swing set that’s coming this Spring from Pappi and GranDee! Mama is SUPER excited about this!! And of course, the best part was being around those we love most. We all really enjoyed spending time with our family.
Santa was good to the kids and all five of them got what they asked for. Guess they must’ve been good this year!

This was our first Christmas with Mimi and Gammy now both living in Florida. It was a tough one for me. I’m really hoping that next year my mom will be able to come up and be with us. We really missed her.
I’m lacking in the picture department, as usual. And didn’t even get a token “baby’s first Christmas” shot of Miss Tenley. Total mom fail!
Ahhh well….what can you do. I hope you all had the best Christmas! On to the New Year….
xoxo, Kristen
