Sunday we were going to go downtown to ride the trolley and walk on Main Street and then go to the Peabody but it was rainy all morning. We ended up at Memphis Pizza Cafe in Midtown for some delicious pizza. My parents stayed home with little Winnie so they missed out on the good food!
After eating the rain had stopped so we drove on to the Peabody to see the decorations.
And of course check out the ducks!
We went up to the roof and the kids had THE BEST time running around with each other. It's funny how just a new space to run around can get them so excited!
Christmas Eve started out with Cappy getting sick (The Williams had been passing around a stomach virus the two weeks before Christmas but thought all the germs were gone....) She slept all day and missed out on the cute kids! I started feeling bad after breakfast but was hoping it was just sympathy yuck for my mom! It wasn't.....I didn't eat anything for the next two days but never got sick, just felt yucky.
Blakeley made these super cute bowties for the boys and a matching hairbow for CeCe. They looked so good!! Unfortunately Jasper refused to smile when I was trying to get a picture before church, even when the cousins and his brother resorted to silly faces!
After church we got matching PJs on and ate dinner
Then Papaw Ruff and Hunter read Christmas stories. Notice Jasper sitting IN Bryce's lap. He loves Bryce so much! Last Christmas Eve this same exact thing happened!
The kids got to open one gift from Cappy....new blankets she made! They were so proud of their blankets with their names on them!
The 3 oldest kids got to sleep in the shed with Papaw Ruff! They were so excited and had been planning on all 4 sleeping in the shed with Cappy and Papaw Ruff. Papaw Ruff was brave to do it with these three by himself!
That night was a LONG night.....Anthony and I were both feeling yucky and could hear Hunter getting sick all night. I was worried about the kids down in the shed with my dad since this virus seemed very contagious. He had his phone and I felt confident he would call me if one of mine started throwing up so when I didn't hear from him I relaxed that morning. And then the kids came up from the shed and Bryce told me he had thrown up twice. Nice. Thankfully he didn't seem to feel too bad and still enjoyed the morning. He didn't get sick anymore but didn't eat until the next day. Hunter was low sick but Cappy was finally feeling better. We had a puke bucket in the middle of the living room on Chrismtas morning!

Those kids sure are cute. I hate that everyone was so sick! Makes for a not as fun time with family. I did giggle a little at the 'puke bucket' in the middle of the Christmas stuff!
