Unfortunately, the two who got hit the worst with the stomach virus were the two most looking forward to Christmas. Claire started feeling lousy the night of the 23rd and exactly 24 hours, on Christmas Eve night, it all started downhill for Grace too. After washing three sets of Claire's sheets on the 23rd, we forced Grace to stay up and watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Poor thing felt so bad she was determined to sleep anyway she could. . .
Thankfully our little guy never got as sick as the girls and was in good spirits on Christmas Eve. He enjoyed watching the Grinch with the rest of us and for the first time showed us that he actually can wave goodbye. Stubborn little guy won't do it for us when we want him to, but when Santa waved goodbye in the movie, Tyler promptly waved right back at him.
Claire, on the other hand was still recuperating from the night before and was content to just stay quiet on the chair and watch the movie as well.
Finally, by 9pm, all was finally quiet and the vomiting was past us. Since the girls were too sick to bake cookies for Santa this year, Mom and Dad found what they could so Santa would not go hungry at our house.
And here is what he left. . .
