Santa did come & he was very good to the boys this year. They dug through their stockings, opened presents from Santa, mom & dad and each other (something new we did this year). Some of the popular items were Jake & the Pirate stuff, new LeapPad Ultras (might be a bit above their level yet), dinosaurs, books, PJs and a new train table. The train table was set up by dad & mom downstairs on Christmas Eve during naps & was a total surprise to the boys when we took them down there to see it.

This is when our day was headed for a big change – we just didn’t know it yet.
About halfway into our 20+ minute drive to Christmas, Colton mentioned that his tummy hurt and it wasn’t one minute later that we were pulling over on the side of the road because he had gotten sick. My poor little guy – no warning at all. We cleaned everything up as best we could & headed home. When we got home, I got Colton changed and laid down in his bed – poor thing feel asleep within minutes of lying down. Cory got Wyatt some lunch and then got him to lay down for nap in the playroom (to keep him separated from Colton). We weren’t prepared to be at home at all that day – so it was pizza for lunch along with a Redbox movie for Cory & I.
Bummer. This is the second Christmas Colton has been sick and has had to miss out on some festivities but I can’t complain at all because he got to enjoy all of Christmas Eve & Christmas morning. I also count my blessings because he only got sick one more time that night, before bed, and was the only one in the house affected by whatever he had – everyone else stayed healthy. That is a blessing in itself.
