Merry Christmas 2008!!!

Well, I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to the new year. Our families Christmas was mostly good! We didn't really have a lot going on so we were able to take our time and just chill out at home. Christmas morning the kids slept in until after 9, which was kind of nice. Brooklyn had been throwing up the morning before, so she needed rest. They both woke up in good spirits and were very happy to see that Santa had brought what they wanted plus some. Brooklyn got a My 1st Dollhouse with all the accessories. Silas got a Batcave with some accessories, a big styrofoam plane and a bb gun. They both also got a big kitchen set. They were just so excited that we had to remind them that we had stockings and presents to open.
After we got everything unwrapped and a huge mess throughout the house, we went over to Grandma Lisa's for some breakfast pizza and more gifts. We stayed over there for most of the morning and then came back home to enjoy all our new toys. I cooked a Christmas ham with all the other good stuff and Sam's brothers and friend Dalton came over to share it with us.
After dinner, our Christmas took a little turn- Brookie started to not feel good again. She just wanted to drink water but as soon as she would drink it she would either throw it up or it would end up in her diaper and all over. That lasted for a couple hours. She finally got to sleep with something in her belly. After awhile Sam and I started to both not feel well. I went to bed and he followed soon after. About a half hour later- both of us at the same time were in the bathroom throwing up. It was not cool at all. It is kind of funny looking back at it now! Sam was up most the night- but I just had to throw up once and I felt much better. Yesterday we were able to chill out at home again. The kids were enjoying their new toys and having fun! Brooklyn was feeling better. Sam had a bad headache most the day. It was really nice just being able to be home with just us! We truly hope that you all had a Merry Christmas! Thanks to all who sent us Christmas wishes! We really love knowing that people think of us this time of year! We wish you all the greatest and happiest New Year!
