My goal this past weekend was to squeeze in as much holiday goodness as possible. Between Thanksgiving being so late this year and spending a week in Florida, we've had a limited amount of time to enjoy all things Christmas. We were off to a great start, until I started to feel really nauseous. Somewhere between gingerbread house making and hot chocolate drinking, I knew we were in trouble. Reluctantly, I had to cancel my plans to attend a holiday party, throw on a Christmas movie for the girls and leave Mate in charge so I could go to bed. After a restless night of sleep, the worst was behind me and we were able to squeeze in a little more fun:
 |
| Sisters |
 |
| Picnic lunch by the Christmas Tree |
 |
| Ava ate more candy then she put on her house, but we'll still call it a success |
 |
| Winter walk around our neighborhood to look at the lights |
Unfortunately, Mate woke up this morning feeling about as bad as I had the previous days. Somehow, he managed to make it to work, but admitted it was miserable. I immediately knew I needed to get the older girls to my in-laws for a sleepover so Mate could head straight to bed and I could concentrate on all the tasks on my to-do list. While I know it was the right decision, I can't help but feel sad that Mia and Ava aren't here to read a Christmas story to, or clothe in Christmas jammies, or search for our Elf with in the morning. At least I know that they are getting tons of attention from grandparents who love them to the moon and back. Fingers crossed for a healthy holiday.
