Christmas: Part 2

After Christmas morning & early afternoon at our house...we loaded up the car & headed up to Jeff's parents for Christmas. This year, Jeff's brother, Rob & sister-in-law, Val hosted Christmas at their house. Val had things decorated so nicely:Noah & Norah's cousins: Luke & Dylan in front of all the presents. Jeff's oldest brother's family wasn't able to make it - as they were sick with the stomach bug.Papa J. was holding the youngest, little Maddie - only 2 months old:
Jeff was holding Norah...while she would sit still, anyway. She was enjoying all the food:As was Noah:Norah always finds someone's shoes to put on...here it was Val's mom's...She was just too cute in her Christmas dress...Ah ha - found the Chex Mix...Later, we went back to Jeff's parents to spend the night & the kids got in their jammies.Noah loved cuddling up with Ra-ra J. Little did we know that in 36 hours the stomach bug would hit our family, too. I got it first, then about 6 hours into it - Jeff got it. Poor Noah, he held strong, until Thursday, New Year Eve's night. He asked to go to bed early - and about an hour later --it struck. Poor little guy. He'd never thrown up before. We spent that evening basically cleaning up after him & wearing the washing machine out. We felt so sad for him. Luckily, he bounced back in about 2 days.
