Sick Thanksgiving Weekend


I know you wouldn't believe it by this picture, but these girls (and their daddy) were sick with colds this Thanksgiving.  Ellie started showing signs on Wednesday, and Brad and Lucy were sick by Friday.  Thankfully I have been spared thus far; although I am bracing for it to come my way at any moment.  Despite the sickness we still were able to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving day lunch with the Bartholomews in Raleigh.  I went out around 7:30 on Black Friday to Target to pick up a few deals, and it was actually a pleasant experience.  On Friday afternoon we picked out our Christmas tree and Ellie helped me decorate it on Saturday morning. 

After Lucy's first sickness Brad told me one night that "Lucy can not get sick, ever again."  If only we could prevent that!  Needless to say Lucy isn't the best patient, and she is a very high maintenance sick girl. One night we were up with her 6 -7 times...it was rough.  We love our little Lucy, but she is definitely is a little spitfire.  Thankfully, it could have been a lot worse, and although she isn't 100% well, last night was more of a normal nights sleep for her (which still isn't the best, but we'll take what we can get.)  Ellie, the trooper that she is, has a bad cough, but only complained once this whole time.  Thankfully the girls are on the mend now, and if Brad can get rid of his cough maybe we will all be sleeping better again soon.
