a very stomach flu Christmas

I'll spare you the details, but let's just say we've had a very stomach-flu-Christmas.

But I am so grateful that we are all together, that we had a wonderful Christmas Day, and God is giving abundant grace to each of us as we persevere.

And we did have a 24 hour chunk of time that was throw-up-free. It coordinated perfectly with Christmas Day.


The sad news is that Matt leaves on a two week trip tomorrow morning. But the glad news is that my mom comes Wednesday night - I will be READY for her to get here! And I'm hopeful that the stomach flu bug will be far far from our apartment by then!

I'll put up some photos and more stories soon -
Merry Christmas!

What a beautiful, happy family! Hope everyone is feeling better by now and that all goes well in the next few days - looking forward to getting there (not the trip, just the arrival!). Love you all!

We missed you guys at the Crissman Christmas. It was fun catching up with Karen, Susan and Colette. Next year will be really cool with so many of the cousins in town. Love the picture. How cute is Isaac trying to grab Julianna's hair?

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
