I am a stay-at-home mom of five beautiful children. Madison (7) in 1st grade, Ryan (6) in Kindergarten, Morgan (4), Connor (2) and Zachary (10 mos) at home with me. I love scrapbooking and cardmaking but my kids keep me too busy to do those as much as I'd like.

Oh What a Christmas We Had!!!

Just so you know, my blog posts from Dec 22nd to Dec 26th were pre-written and scheduled posts. So, they are accurate, but are NOT a complete account of what happened on those days. Let me see, where to begin...

Dec 22nd
I didn't really have the rest of the day to get ready to travel. Turns out that Aaron told me he was coming home early that day so we could leave earlier than I thought. Unfortunately I wasn't ready. But we were still on the road by 4:30pm. Yippy! At 8pm Connor mentioned that his tummy didn't feel good and then he puked all over himself at around 9pm! Yippy! We had to stop in the middle of the road to clean him up and lost Zach's only bottle in the meantime! We stopped at Walmart to get more bottles and a trash can (incase Connor needed to get sick again) and just when we got back on the highway, Connor got sick again! Yippy! I don't know how many times we ended up stopping on the way to Virginia, but it took us about 14.5 hours and we rolled in at about 6am on the 23rd. Yippy!

Dec 23rd
Pretty much like the blog says, we rested (me alot due to Vicodin I was taking for my tooth!), and visited with family, played games and then off to bed for Christmas Eve!

Dec 24th
4:00am, Morgan came to me and told me that she was sick and needed to puke. Oh boy, here we go! She was sick until about noon that day.
6:00am, Madison came to me and told me that she was sick and needed to puke. Yep, she was sick until about 2pm!
We ended up going to the town of Petersburg, Va, to check out some antique shops etc. Aaron ended up going to the car due to being sick to his stomach! He ended up staying in bed for the rest of the day when we got home. He ended up getting sick later that night. Early evening, Laly (sister-in-law and hostess) ended up going out and buying new PJs for everyone in the house (19 of us!). When she got home, she promptly puked in the driveway!!!!! Fun!!

Dec 25
Soooooo excited! The gift that I got in the family gift exchange was quite a great surprise! I had asked for Amazon.com giftcards so that I could purchase and start Project Life for 2012. Instead, I got the Project Life Core Kit - Amber addition. I am sooo pumped to start!
Oh and by the way, Ryan was sick all morning, he threw up a few times. Grandpa got sick later in the evening, he threw up too! Some time during the night, grandma got sick as well. FUN!!

Dec 26
Time to go home. We stopped at IHOP for breakfast on our way out of town, Grandma had crackers to eat since she was still feeling queasy!

We found out yesterday (or maybe this morning) that Baleska ended up getting sick on the way back home to California. Sorry everyone, hope you all still had a good Christmas!!!

Ahhh! That is awful! Luckily we had that bug a couple weeks before Christmas. It sounds like you need a vacation to recover from your Christmas vacation!
