We had an enjoyable Christmas time with family back home! Nikayda got lots of cute toys and books!
However, we did NOT have an enjoyable New Years. We managed to catch a nasty flu bug and got stuck having a family puking marathon at Justin's brother's house. I'm sure we caught the same thing they had 4-5 days before, but we were hoping the germs would be gone from the house by then... But oh well!
Actually, Friday and most of Saturday were enjoyable before we started the puking marathon. We had made plans a while ago to hang out with Justin's brother (and his family) and his sister for a little Christmas gathering since we didn't get a chance to get together on the actual Christmas dates. But boy, when little Nikayda started puking up everything on New Years Eve, it was just downhill from there... next it was mom... then dad... Good thing Aunt Merissa and Uncle Jake didn't mind us staying another night to get over the sickness... and Aunt Merissa was a saint and helped us tend to Nikayda while Justin and I were miserable... which included cleaning up some of her puke, washing blankets and clothes, bringing us whatever we needed ... water, 7-up, pillows, etc... and now she is probably disinfecting her house!
Needless to say, I did NOT get a picture of us on New Years... but we are definitely feeling better today. We made the drive back home successfully this morning.
Now we should start thinking about some new years resolutions I suppose... :-) I think healthy living and healthy food is on my mind lately... especially with the sickness we are just getting over, one forgets how GREAT it is to be healthy.
On that note, since my favorite Christmas present (from Justin) was a new Breville Juicer, I know for sure that one resolution for Team Z is to use it at least once a day. It makes such fresh and healthy juice out of pretty much any fruit or vegetable!!! I LOVE it so far, and it's so easy to use and clean!
Hopefully more to come on some of Team Z's new years resolutions later...
