Recovered

I think this word best describes how I feel today. We've had an eventful week and a half and now we're home and I'm starting to feel a little more back to normal.

Here's what we've been up to:

We went to Mike's brother's wedding on the 22nd. It was in Logan. After the reception we were headed to Preston to spend some time with his family when I looked back at Carson in the car and he threw up all over himself and the seats. So, after a quick clean up we kept on going. We thought he was better and maybe it was just a fluke but later that night he got a fever and kept throwing up. It was really sad to see him so miserable. We decided to come home Sunday morning.

Carson was sick until probably Tuesday and didn't feel completely better until Wednesday night. We were glad his sickness didn't upset our Thanksgiving plans and we headed back to Preston on Thursday to be with the Holt clan. We had yummy food and a great time visiting with family.

Friday we braved some crowds and tried to do some shopping. We didn't get too many things but we had a great time with each other (we left Carson with his grandma).

Saturday we went with everyone to cut down Christmas trees. I had fun, but pretty much just stayed in the car with Blake. There was a little bit of snow and from what I heard the kids had a fabulous time.

We came back that night and on Sunday set up our Christmas decorations. It's been fun to have something different to look at around here. Now I'm just dealing with mounds of laundry and errands to do.

Now for some pictures:

19 people + 3 vehicles + 5 Christmas trees = Lots of holiday fun!
