Christmas
We drove to Hays to stay with my parents for Christmas. It's somewhere around 10 hours in the car, so not as long as our recent trip to Austin.
We had a great time visiting with everyone. We got to see my cousin Sharol's new baby, we had Chinese food at The Mall with Mom, Dad, Aunt Ardie, Aunt Marsha, Uncle Cary, Cam, and Niki, then did some shopping. I saw an old friend from high school and her two kids, and got in touch with another old friend, one I haven't seen in years. Rich and I saw a movie (alone! without kids! it wasn't a cartoon!) Jeff and Angie had to go back to work, so they made the trip home on Christmas day and we kept Logan with us.
Em, Evie and I went to see Marie, and have fabulous new haircuts, now. I just got a trim, Evie has a cute new bob, and Em got a lot cut off but still has the longest hair! It was great to see Marie again.
We got to stay a week (we got there Saturday night, we left for home Saturday morning), which was hardly long enough. Friday night we went to Uncle John's and Aunt Denny's for a holiday party, and had a great time talking to my cousin Kelly and her husband Tony. (Rich wants a motorcycle, so was talking with Tony about his.) Our night ended quickly, though. Poor Logan was attacked by a viscous coffee table in Aunt Denny's living room! After a quick triage in the kitchen, we decided that he probably needed to go to the ER. He was very brave, and ended up with three staples on his head, and a stuffed puppy named Sophie. I'm guessing that he's had the staples out by now.
We got up bright and early the next morning and headed for home, expecting an uneventful trip. Evie had other plans, and came down with the stomach flu at about Minneapolis, KS, just a couple hours into our trip home. A long car trip plus a sick three year old is not a good mix. Evie's favorite thing to say now? "Mama, I frow UP in car!" She points to the ceiling when she says up. She also likes to mimic throwing up into a trash can. We stopped at the Walmart in York, Nebraska to buy one, some pedialyte, some towels, and some air freshener. She did end up sharing her tummy bug with the rest of us. I think we're finally back to normal, now. Mostly, anyway.
