Quiet Christmas

We had a very quiet Christmas. My family came over on Christmas Eve and we had a great dinner. Just as we were sitting down to eat Sam laid down on the couch and was really quiet (which is unusual for him). As we were finishing our meal Sam stood up and threw up all over the floor. :) He threw up six or seven more times over the next 24 hours, which is more than he ever thrown up in his entire life, total. After we got Sam squared away we played Wits and Wagers and stuffed our full bellies with more treats.

Christmas morning was quiet too. We slept till about 9:00 (best present kids can give their tired parents!), and then we opened presents.

Sam rallied for the gift opening, but after about 20 minutes he was totally spent.
And then spent Christmas like this.

I put together a bag of toffee for Mike's parents, but I forgot to send it when he took Will over. ( I stayed home with sick Sam and sleeping Molly.) Later that day Will was being really quiet, so I investigated. He took the bag of toffee off the counter, but couldn't open it himself. He somehow reached the scissors at the back of the drawer (where I thought he couldn't reach them!), cut off the top of the bag, and then got caught trying to put them away. Such a monkey!



All the kids got new jammies for Christmas (but Sam couldn't wear his because he threw up on them). Molly is also sporting a new headband and flower from Aunt Renee. So cute!

Will starting throwing up Christmas night, Mike was the next day, and Molly was a few days later. All of the kids threw up on the couch at least once. My carpet cleaner sure got a workout! Even with all the puking, it was a really nice Christmas! I was sad to miss Grandma Tigger's annual white elephant party, but staying in my pj's all day was a nice consolation prize!
