Christmas in Michigan

We spent Lilly's first Christmas back in Michigan.  We drove down the Monday before and then headed back the following Sunday.  It was great to see so many family and friends but disappointing to also miss so many.  Unfortunately, the stomach flu made it's way through the house taking out my brother, my dad and finally, me.  The last few days, therefore, were spent lounging around the house and getting as much sleep as possible so we didn't get to see all of the family and friends we had planned in an effort to keep them from the nasty germs.  Being able to see Christmas through the eyes of a little one was something special and I know it will only get more so as Lilly gets older.  Unfortunately we missed out on Christmas Eve church after a diaper blowout that ruined Lill and Corey's outfits.  I swear that Lilly was planning her poop schedule around when mommy put her in a new cute outfit.  As my girlfriends said about her one outfit..."Santa's little helper?...more like Santa's little pooper!"
