I am a little behind on getting up our Christmas pictures...and for some reason they showed up really small this time (but I think you can click on them and they get bigger). Anyways, We had a wonderful Christmas...once all the craziness stopped. Lets just say that it started out VERY rough....after loading up the car---which by the way, we got a car topper for Christmas because we always travel with so much stuff---we stopped to get gas. Literally we pulled up, and no sooner than Aaron turned the car off....Brayden started puking...and we are talking buckets of puke. Luckily, we were close to home, so we headed home--gave him a bath---and then like clockwork, Marshall started throwing up too. We would clean up one kid and then next would throw up. We cleaned our house, kids, car, carseats, etc...for over 3 hours. Finally it got so bad we had to go to the ER....the kids had a virus...Brayden got to go home once he was able to keep down a popsicle and pedialyte (which was around midnight)....but little Marshall had to be admitted. It was awful. The poor baby had to get an IV in his arm to keep his fluids up. He did great though...quite the trooper. So Marshall and I stayed at the hospital. On Friday evening we were released--he was doing great. Both kiddos seemed better...so we decided to still go south for Christmas. So we loaded up again on Sat morning and made it---and since both kiddos were so sleepy, we did not have to stop, so we made it in a record time---under 5 hours. I am so glad that we made the trip...even though Aaron and I both were completely sleep deprived---no sleep for about 48 hours---but it was great to see family and celebrate the holidays. Here are some pictures from southern Illinois...
Next up was Christmas in Dixon. The kids got sick again when we arrived there...and then unfortunately got everyone else sick too after we left---so sorry about that! While we were there though, we did enjoy being with more family and continuing the Christmas celebration...
Even though, the kids were a little under the weather, they enjoyed Christmas! I cannot believe that little Marshall turned 2 months Dec 26th. And the cake you may have seen above---that was a birthday cake for Baby Jesus---per Brayden's request!
