...It was Christmas Eve Night...

Not really the way you want to spend Christmas Eve... I think Cali's face says it all, and that there is a rare picture of the empty barf bowl, for most of the night she was filling it up every 20 minutes. I made her a deal that if she didn't throw up for 30 consecutive minutes, then she could sip some Powerade. It was a proud moment and huge relief for us all when she made it 31 minutes! It was a violent stomach bug that ravaged our house for the holidays. Cali's bout with it was just a warning of things to come for the rest of us!

Carter and I tried to carry on some Christmas Eve traditions by preparing the Reindeer some food. Christian kept Caleb entertained far away from the Cali volcano in an attempt to avoid getting the bug too {spoiler alert: it didn't work}

First you stir up some dry oatmeal in a shallow dish.

Then you sprinkle some glitter {it helps them fly}. Did I say "some" glitter? Sorry, I meant LOTS of glitter!
