Happy Thanksgiving!?

Who knew that a happy family that started the day looking like this:



with a cute little boy so proud for setting the kids table all by himself:



Would end the day (an hour after turkey-dinner) with two kids up-chucking all over grandma and grandpa's living room carpets (within five minutes of each other!) and looking like this?




These two continued to be sick until 2am Friday morning, and then I came down with it at 8am and was sick the entire rest of the day. I could barely turn myself over in bed, it was miserable! It was so strange how quick it came on! Thankfully, Aaron was off of work so he took good care of us all. Leda and I are on the mend, though Chase is still acting fluky and I'm not sure what's up with him, poor guy. But so far Aaron and Spencer haven't been hit---we're keeping our fingers crossed.

I'm not surprised at all that sickness hit, even though my kids were perfectly fine all day and even ate all their food at dinner. At least one of us has been sick and puking each and every Thanksgiving for the last four years, and that is not a joke! Chase's first Thanksgiving (he was 8 weeks old) we were ALL sick and in bed. That was the absolute worst!

But all sickness aside, thanks Mom for a fabulous dinner (glad we were able to enjoy it) and for the Smiths and Hyers for joining us that day. We had such a great time visiting and being together with your fun family.


I hope your Thanksgiving was happy and uneventful!
