Saturday morning started with Daisy having a fever.
She missed the fun of packing.
She rallied enough by evening to open some prezzies.
She was looking better and got a good nights rest.
And then we were off to Grandma and Grandpa's!
When the kids finally woke up, it didn't take long to realize that Daisy in fact did not sleep it off. She just sat there with that pathetic look you can see there, moaning.
At this point we were about 200 miles down the road. It was Kansas or bust.
We went directly to celebrate Christmas with Granny and lots of that family. It was great to see everyone. Not sure how many of those peeps are now sick…
The next several days Daisy felt better, then bad again. We went to see Grandma E, and I was smart enough to have her stay home for that visit.
Grandpa and Crystal took the kids sledding a couple times. Daisy, Eli, Nathan and Alex went first. They had a great time, but it was frigid out there and the windchill was probably in the teens.
Not that Grandpa and Crystal were bothered by windchill.
Time out for some hot cocoa. On second thought, that may be all the walking in a winder wonderland that Daisy can handle.
Round 2 with Zeke, Nathan and Alex. Poor little Nick was too sick to go at all.
Boys will be boys.
By Christmas Eve Daisy, Zeke, and Nick had all been feeling bad. But we Christmased on with horsey rides
until horsey got tuckered out,
games and crafts,
pictures,
lots of food and presents,
and an abundance of love.
Christmas morning the kids were excited that Santa found them.
But then people started not feeling well again, including Daisy, Abe, and Dad.
The drive home took it out of everyone.
From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry to everyone who we left in our wake of sickness. Besides for being ill and making everyone else ill, we had a great Christmas!
