Three or four years ago, Mike, Claire and I had a terrible flu that peaked in its awfulness right on Christmas morning. It was the worst flu I've ever had, and the timing could not have been worse. I think my brother is still angry we had to break tradition and wait to open gifts until later that night. This year, Claire seems to have come down with a bug, though not anywhere near as terrible as the flu, and she just can't shake it. Its so up and down. She'll be in the bathroom crying about how awful she feels, the stomach pains and nausea! And then 20 minutes later she's jumping on the couch. Last night, I would have bet some big money that she turned the corner. This morning at 5AM, she was yelling for me from the bathroom floor. I'm kind of over it, and I know she is too. Hopefully she's back on her feet tomorrow.
We have started to celebrate Christmas, though. Claire and Milena both got their big gifts from us since we'll be out of town Christmas morning. We're planning bringing most of their gifts with us, but that just wasn't possible for a few of them. Claire "got" a piano. Jim and Monnie let us long-term-borrow theirs (thanks!), and Claire loves it. She and Mike played for a while last night, and then Milena got into it as well.
Milena got a train table. She loves it, and I was kind of surprised that Claire was pretty into it as well. At least she is now, when its new.
Three more days until Christmas, and nine left in the year.
