Sevier Family Christmas 2011

The last week has been somewhat rough around here! It started last Thursday morning at 3:30 a.m. when Ellie woke up throwing up. That continued until Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. Poor baby! She couldn't keep anything down but kept begging me for "eat," "drink," "milk," "juice," and "snack." She asked in every possible way and it was so hard to tell her no. Of course, when I would let her have something it just came right back up. Luckily, she woke up feeling better on Friday. We went ahead with our Christmas celebration with Kyle's family on Saturday although I was a little nervous for her to be around everyone else, especially the girls. However, I had called her doctor on Friday and got the okay. We had a wonderful Christmas with lots of good food, crafts, fun, and presents! I was all set to get everything put away on Sunday, but woke up with the virus! Not only did I have it, but Ellie seemed to have a relapse and got sick again Sunday morning! Then I got the call from Des . . . Haven had it, too! What a terrible time to get a stomach flu! I haven't had one since I was in high school, and I've had it twice in one month. I'm now crossing my fingers that Kyle and the rest of his family doesn't get it.

Here is my sweet girl napping the day she was sick

Getting ready to load up presents on Saturday. I tried to use some mousse to fix her hair. You can see some curls if you look closely. Poor thing. She has a mom with board straight hair who has no clue how to fix curly hair. Lucky her Aunt Des has lots of experience!
