Merry Christmas!!
Our Christmas looked alot like this...
and yes that is an accurate depiction of what I look like these days.
My dieting and weight loss posts will be coming soon. HAHA!
On Christmas Eve morning, I woke up feeling "off". I went upstairs to find London in his bed COVERED in throw up. Poor guy apparently puked at some point during the night but he is such a sound sleeper it didn't even wake him up. He slept right through it.
Within about an hour, I was puking too. My ENTIRE family was here from out of town (all 15 of them). My Mom was trying to cook and I was trying not to throw up by laying in bed all morning. London laid on the floor ALL DAY watching TV. Not whining or anything just laying on the floor not moving. Poor guy, he ate absolutely nothing all day, and I had to force him to drink something late in the day. He went to bed early with a brief smile when he was reminded Santa was coming.
Christmas morning we were MUCH better. I felt like a million bucks and was ready to chow down on some traditional Christmas monkey bread and breakfast casserole. London however, woke up with a 102 fever. I have no idea where the fever came from but with a dose of Tylenol, 30 minutes later he was screaming "NEXT PRESENT" while ripping open of his gifts.
By Christmas night, Mike had fallen as the next victim of the Christmas Stomach Flu. And a few hours later a few of my nieces and nephews were sick as well. By December 26th it claimed its smallest victim, Holden had it. It was a miserable few days for us, but we managed to smile for a few pictures between the puking.

(Not all of it was for my boys, my nieces and nephews were there too)
London slowly getting started as he starts to feel better.
Fever was gone and London was back in full force now!

Holden testing out the new bouncer and Sophie that Santa brought him.
Whats next? Oh yes that's right!!
Happy New Year!!!
Our New Years started out like this....
And yet another accurate depiction of how I look right now.
On Friday the day before New Years Eve, I came down with a little case of Vertigo that kept me in bed most of the day. And with 2 kids, that is definitely no fun and virtually impossible. No clue what it was, an inner ear infection maybe? But thankfully it went away on it's own by New Years Eve.
We spent 5 days including New Years Eve up in North Carolina with my inlaws. It was fabulous to see them again and to have a little break from the kids. Yes the kids were with us, but no one was willing to put Holden down, and London managed to forced everyone into playing numerous games of Angry Birds.
Holden posing with his TiTi
He is not even 3 yet and already refusing to take pictures with me.
Look at that face you would think I was torturing him.
Of course there were more presents!
Another exhausted family photo
Baby Holden was being completely spoiled by everyone.
I don't think he got put down more than twice all week.
Ok well I think I have managed to catch back up...for now.
I have a few posts planned for this week so hopefully I won't be such a stranger over the next few weeks.
