The night took a bit of a rough turn when Tay woke up at 2 am with stomach flu. Tay and I hung on the couch watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse until 7 am. There was lots of throwing up but he was so brave and sweet. He didn't cry - just got sick and then snuggled back in to watch his show. It was a long night but he rallied and was in a great mood on Christmas. Avery gave us all a gift by sleeping in until after 8:30 am and then was thrilled that Santa came. She was so sweet opening her gifts and was very thankful for everything she received. Grandma T made a great breakfast and we spent the day relaxing, playing with new toys and eating. Avery also hosted a game show where she asked everyone questions - Some were deep like "What do you like about yourself" and some were things like "What is your favorite candy". Tay seemed great and then got sick again in the night but, again, was super brave, sweet and snuggly.
We were also able to head to Midland the day before we left and got to see my Grandpa along with my Aunt and cousins. Avery really liked playing with Liam, Kelly and Alex. All was great until the drive back to Grand Rapids when the stomach flu hit both Hung and Avery. Avery was sick in the car but amazingly got everything into a ziploc bag with perfect aim - she didn't even cry. She was sick one more time after we got back to GR where she said to me "Am I going to die, mama?". I assured her it was just a bug and the next day she was really into "taking sips" and "just a few bites" to test her stomach. It seems to have missed me which is amazing and am glad I stayed healthy enough to take care of my family. The ride home was very smooth - Tay slept almost 3.5 hours and Avery watched shows and we played 20 questions when she got bored of movies.
Despite the nasty stomach bug we had a lovely Christmas and really enjoyed all the great family time!
