Sick For Christmas, But Okay Now

Dad and Dominic read a pop-up Christmas book.

Although Dominic and Dad were overcome by a stomach flu this Christmas, we still had fun as a family. Grandma Ritchie and Uncle Robert came down for the holiday (and since our babysitter’s family also suffered the flu this week, Grandma Ritchie returned for the last half of the week to take care of the boy while we went to work – Thanks Again Mom).

Anyway, with all the health problems there were still plenty of blessings to give thanks for.

Trip to see Grandpa and Grandma Crisp

Dominic rode with us down to Nashville to see his grandparents for a holiday visit.
He had fun at dinner, opening Christmas gifts, listening to stories and listening to his grandparents and parents playing triominoes late into the night.

Ready to get on the road, Dominic waits for Grandpa Crisp to finish tying his boots.

Dominic sits with Grandma Crisp so she can can read him the book "I Love You Through and Through."

Dominic opens a gift while sitting in Mom's lap.
