Christmas Eve began at about 5:30 am when we woke up to Kyler crying. Erik went into check on him and found that he had thrown up in his bed. :( We got new sheets, pjs, etc. and tucked him back in, hoping it was a one-time deal, but it wasn't. Kyler threw up about 4 or 5 more times, but was all done by about 10:30 am! So, Kyler spent the morning lounging on the couch, watching movies and just hanging out. We really didn't have much planned for Christmas Eve day-which ended up being a good thing! Norah had thrown up one time randomly on Thursday (before Christmas) afternoon, and I had thought it was because she had eaten something new, but I guess not. However, hers only was the one time thing and she was good to go, so I'm guessing Kyler got it from her. Thankfully neither Erik or I ended up with it!!
We were planning to go to my (Ashley's) parent's house for dinner at 5:00, and then go to church at 7:00. Since Kyler had been fine since the morning, Erik and I went ahead and got ready while the kids took their afternoon nap. We were going to see how Kyler was doing when he woke up. When the kids got up, Kyler was doing okay, but really tired. He still wanted to go eat dinner at my parent's house and get dressed up, so we did! We all got dressed and headed over to my parent's house for a nice dinner that my brother had prepared for us! Kyler wasn't really interested in eating, but he was feeling a lot better and if you didn't know him, you wouldn't have even thought he was sick. We kept debating on whether or not to take Kyler to church. We finally decided that since it had been about 9 hours since he had last been sick, and he was acting pretty normal, we would take him. We knew he would just come in, sit on Erik's lap and then leave. He wasn't going to the nursery or anything like that to interact with other kids. So, we headed to church at Orchard Hill at 7:00.
After church we came back to my parent's house to have pie. My aunt and uncle, cousin and her two kids, and Erik's parents were going to come over and have pie that my mom had made that afternoon. This is a fun tradition that I love doing and always look forward to on Christmas Eve. It has been harder since it's kind of late with little kids, but we have still made it work! We left my parent's house about 9:00 and headed home to give the kids quick baths and put them to bed. Erik then had to head back to the church to work the 11:00 pm service. Erik was also in charge of getting out all the presents and doing the stockings for the kids when he came home. :)
