Christmas Night & The Day After

We had dinner at home on Christmas. Tom made a honey spiraled ham that was absolutely to die for. We also had twice baked potatoes casserole and broccoli puff. And we had some "red" and "white" sparkling grape juice (Jamie's idea) so we let the kids drink out of wine glasses. They thought they were so big. We even set the table all nice:



The kids played some more, I took a nap and Tom let me sleep (thank goodness, I was dead) and then Tom and I got to play the Wii. I'm not very good at the point and click games (not on the PC either), but in the sports, I can kick his butt! We played boxing (KO baby!) and bowling and baseball. :) I beat him in all 3. *laugh*

I got up this morning and Cassie looked HORRIBLE and was running around a 102 degree fever. So I dosed her with Tylenol and got her an appointment this afternoon at the doctor. She took a 3 hour nap (those that know Cassie are as freaked out as I am, Cassie does NOT nap) and woke up burning up again so I dosed her with Motrin. She stayed in her room in bed all day. Tom took her to the doctor at 2:30 and she came home all happy. What? How does THAT work? She still sounds kind of yucky, but she looks a lot better.

The doctor didn't give her anything, it's viral, like I thought (but that fever scared me!). She did say there's some bug going around. It's not the flu, thank goodness, but it's a 3-5 day deal.

Anyway, so she's doing a little better. She asked for McDonald's for dinner so we sucked it up and got McDonald's (I don't really like Mickey Ds). Let's hope she keeps it down and has a good day tomorrow. Ugh. I hate it when they are sick. Especially her. Jamie will tell us what hurts and what will make him feel better. Cassie just wants to be left alone.

Poor baby.
