Christmas Eve

What a week leading up to Christmas! Nicholas woke up with the stomach flu on the Monday night before and had cold symptoms and a fever also. I thought for sure he had the flu! The vomitting was gone by early morning but the fever and really bad cough and runny nose stuck around. He spent the next four days on the couch ALL day watching the SAME Sesame Street episode over and over again. Come to find out there was a break out of RSV in the next room over at daycare. We headed to the doctor on Thursday and the doctor said that's probably what he had. Luckily his fever broke Christmas Eve morning and everyone in the Loach family wanted to see him even if he could still be contagious. So off the the Loach Christmas Eve party we went!!

Nicholas' favorite moment of the party was standing on one of his presents and dancing and clapping while everyone was laughing and clapping for him. What a ham! He loved all the attention!



Aren't all the presents here for me??




Hey Uncle Roger, any good at basketball?? I still prefer playing ball over any new toy.
