Our family had been struggling with the flu for about a week. I though we were past it because it had been a few days and no one else got sick. So much for optimism. Greg started throwing up on the night of December 23. I went to bed feeling yucky and starting throwing up the next morning. We both spent all day in bed.
Thankfully and luckily for our family, we had Uncle Jarom. My brother was spending Christmas with us and he was wonderful. He took over and made Christmas Eve fun for the kids. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Jarom! I can't say thank you enough. He saved Christmas for us!
He fed the kids, played with Guard, took the kids sledding at the church and made sugar cookies and frosting and decorated cookies with the kids. He's awesome!
Since we got pajamas at Grandmas, the kids got quilts this year instead. I had so much fun making them for Enoch, Kate and Guard. Gavin requested a blanket to take to Marching Band and Drumline and didn't want anything too nice that might get dirty (he got a soft, warm blanket from Costco). The kids loved their quilts. I think it was Guard's favorite present. He loves his I-spy quilt!
It was a fun night. Extra prayers were said that Mom and Dad would be better and no one would come down ill that night.
Even though we were feeling great, we all were looking forward to the morning.
