Christmas Catch-Up!

Well now that Christmas has come and gone, I've finally got a moment to jot down all about our excitement! It's been pretty crazy around here!

So in December Ryan, Hailey, and I went to Hurricane, Utah to spend Christmas with Ryan's family! It was a blast! We got to spend a week and a half out there! We went snow tubing, to which Hailey did not particularly like. She mostly just liked sitting in the tube and having me drag it around everywhere I went. There wasn't much emotion in the process. I think she was too cold to feel. But I thought she looked adorable in her snowsuit attire! What do you think??



Hailey enjoyed spending time with her two cousins, Delilah and Jonathan. Delilah is a year older than her and Jonathan is about 10 months younger. She and Delilah were both Queen Cutenesses and we all had fun watching them interact. They liked to watch videos on the ipad/iphones together and run/roll, climb, etc. Jonathan is still so young that he can't interact much with Hailey and Delilah, but Hailey made a point of not leaving him out... literally... She pointed at him a lot! She also renamed him DaDa. It was so cute to watch her try to play with him or feed him. Unfortunately the timing wasn't so good and Hailey happened to be learning where eyes, nose, and ears are.... poor Jonathan.


As Christmas Eve came around, Hailey came down with some kind of flu and we spent the whole night running her to the toilet every 20min. Eventually it slowed to every hour. And then she finally passed out from exhaustion. My poor baby! It was so heart wrenching to watch! But on the other hand the experience only confirmed my suspicions... we have a roadrunner/energizer bunny for a baby. In between puking, she never stopped moving. She didn't hold still, wimper, moan, or cuddle like most sick babies.. no, my baby continued to run, climb, slide across floors and tables, laugh, smile, then PUKE! It was insane! Not to mention it being the middle of the night. Uggg. So glad that's over with.

But not everyone was left untouched by our sicky germs. Hailey gave it to Ryan and his sister's family, who gave it to me, who had it the whole 2 plane rides and 4 hour delay in an airport home, who gave it to my sisters once we got home, who gave it to my parents, who gave it to my cousin who came to visit for 2 days. Who knows how many others on the plane and in the airport I gave it to... lesson learned. Don't travel. And if you do- wear a mask and gloves and burn all clothing when landed.
