Gracie's home from the hospital

Well, after 24 hours of puking and refusing to eat, Gracie had to be taken in to the hospital yesterday. They admitted her, started an IV and pumped her full of fluids for 7 hours. She eventually drank 2 oz of formula and kept it down, so we got to come home in the middle of the night. They wanted to keep her longer, but with the baby we shared a room with (and her annoying parents who never turned the TV off or the volume down even at midnight)I figured she's recover better in her own crib at home. Gracie was so tired but kept getting woke up every 10 minutes and I knew she was desperate to just be allowed to sleep. Georgia is doing better and drinking but still not wanting to eat anything. Dave is a zombie. I hope he will feel better this morning when he wakes up. I'm still not sick, and I'm crossing my fingers!!!!!

Santa gave us an early present this year....

the FLU!!!! Georgia started puking Wednesday afternoon until last night. Gracie got it after dinner last night and Dave got it in the middle of the night last night. Everyone also has fevers, but too sick to keep tylenol down. I am just praying I don't get it next. I seriously do not know what we'd do if I was out of commission too! Dave thinks I haven't gotten it yet because I'm the mom and they need me:) We are down to our last can of 7-UP, so I will have to venture out to the grocery store for pop and jello sometime today between loads of icky laundry. Hopefully this will all be out of our system by Christmas. The good news is that the bug is making everyone sleepy so there are lots of naps going on right now.

Christmas Dinner at Nana's

Nana had everyone over to her house for dinner Sunday night. It was great to have to mini family reunion and catch up. Gracie took a few naps on Nana's floor, but mostly was passed around from cousin to cousin. She sure seemed to like all the attention.

Sunday Morning at the Hotel

My favorite photo is the one of Gracie sittin on "Santa Zachary's lap". It's so cute!!!! Thanks Brian and DeLisha for coming all the way over to from Wentachee to see us.
