A not so Holly Jolly Christmas

All is finally calm in the Swaim household tonight after we were hit by a bout with the stomach flu Wednesday night. We were supposed to head to Josh's parents' Wednesday afternoon, but Kaia wasn't feeling well, so we decided to wait until Thursday morning. Then Josh and I both woke up in the middle of the night with the flu. Thankfully Kaia slept peacefully until morning, or else an awful night would've been much worse. We were down for the count all day yesterday and could hardly get off the couch. It was much more difficult having a 1 year old running around and we were disappointed at the timing since all of our friends were out of town and we didn't have anyone to help watch her. But she was an angel and spent most of the day on our laps reading and doing a pretty good job of playing on her own. Last night wasn't as great-she didn't sleep well and was restless all night. But we managed to get some rest and are doing a little better today. It didn't seem like Christmas since we were stuck at home and Santa had come to our house Wednesday morning in anticipation of us being at Josh's parents all weekend (see previous post). But we are thankful to be feeling a little better tonight and mostly just worn out. We hope to be doing much better tomorrow and at least be able to travel to enjoy a belated Merry Christmas! Hope all is well in your households and you are enjoying the celebration of our Saviour's birth!!
