On Christmas morning, Ashley woke up with Lydia around 4 a.m. and then decided to start packing instead of trying to sleep. Later, we woke up and had breakfast at Nona and Big Daddy's. I laid down in the bed for a hour wishing for more sleep and medicine that actually helped while Ashley finished packing the suitcases and used an entire box of Kleenex. By this point, Eden was feeling 100% (except for a residual cough that she sort of still has today - New Year's Eve). We had hoped to leave around 9, but illness delayed our plans.
Around 10:00 I got the energy to pack the car, fix a cup of coffee and psych myself up for a three hour drive in the rain.
As soon as we got to the 147 I got in bed for a long winter's nap while Eden played. After several rounds of lunch, we exchanged gifts. Again, the sickness going around showed itself in the small number of photos taken, but at least we have some.
