6 years ago at Thanksgiving, my son began puking half way to my in-law's house. For 4 hours, Hubby drove while my one-year-old vomited all over me. So when my 3-year-old started puking 2 hours into our 8 hour drive, I instantly remembered that awful drive years ago and was determined not to experience it again. I rented a car and drove home while Hubby continued on to see his family with the 3 healthy children. See N, all smiles? See the spaghetti vomit on her chin? She's smiling because her mom pulled off the highway to take a picture of her in front of the CO sign. Omg. And yes, she vomited in the rental car as well. Luckily my parents were willing to babysit while I took it to the car wash to have it detailed. If I took it in it was $50. If I had paid them to take it in, it would have been $150. And my parents did an entire load of puked on laundry for me while I was gone. Mom and Dad to the rescue!
While N recovered at home, the rest of my family had a great time. Here are a few of my favorite pictures my husband texted me while we were apart: Great-Grandma's train

This house is way too big with only a quarter of our family in it. I'm excited to have them come home tomorrow. I'm thinking they will be shocked at how clean it is and that I took down the Christmas decorations and put up the Chinese New Year ones. Hopefully they will forgive me. It has been neat to give N so much one on one time. We read lots of books, changed the dolls' clothes plenty of times, played Shoots and Ladders, Frozen High 5, different memory games, Monopoly Junior and even Chinese chess.She opted for almost zero screen time and preferred to watch me do everything from cooking dinner to cleaning to the decorations to brushing my teeth. She was kind of upset tonight when she found out she has to go to sleep in her own bed when daddy gets home. Love that girl.
