Christmas Eve

This Christmas was almost gobbled up by the stomach bug.

We were scheduled to spend a few days before Christmas with Mom, but the sweet girl ended up coming down with a bug a few days before. She seemed to get over it pretty quickly and felt good enough to go to work with Mommy on the 23rd. That night, though, the bug returned. She woke up starving on Christmas Eve morning, but everything she ate came right back up. We saw the doctor, who just told us not to feed her for 4-5 hours. :( It wasn't a very fun morning.

She finally woke up from a nap that afternoon back to her old self. She held down some food and water, so we decided to go visit the fam for at least a few hours.

We drove down to Mom's that evening, and despite a crazy long drive (saw 6 accidents in the first 20 miles...), we made it there safely and were able to surprise everyone. We were all so out of sorts - in comfy clothes and pjs, hair in pony tail, no camera... It had been a long day (and night before), but we were thankful to be able to see the family for a short bit.


Not so sure I remember this guy...

Okay, guys. Seriously?

Opening the new baby, who was promptly named Hailey. My guess is she's heard us talk about our friends' baby Hailey once or twice. ;)


Checking out the goods, including my new pj pants.

Playing the piano with Opa. Little does she know she'll be taking lessons one of these days. Only because my Mom made me. Because her mom made her.



Although our visit was short, it was oh, so sweet. I am so glad we got to see Mom and Brother and Sister. We just don't get to do that often enough these days.
