Seems we cannot have a normal Christmas outing. We were just a few miles from Mitchell when Maia started throwing up. Amy pulled over on the interstate and we did the best we could to help her throw up in the trash can and not all over herself, her seat and her clothes. We did the best we could to get her cleaned up, but needed to stop at Kmart to pick her up some new pajamas that she could wear.
We arrived at Casey and Heidi's 15 minutes late, but luckily we didn't have to suffer through any more sickness. We had snacks, gifts and conversation in a too brief evening. It was good to see everybody, but we weren't able to leave until I was done with work and had to get back in time to put the kids down, so we were definitely a bit tight with the schedule. Maia got her first Hannah Montana Barbie from Rylie, Xander got a Bionicle from Chase and we each received the gift of green from Dave and Marie. Thanks to all!
We arrived home safely and Maia seems to be on the mend, so hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for her.

Yeah, that's pretty tough, we had the same thing happen a couple years back with Gillian...she threw up in the middle of nowhere (somewhere between LaCrosse WI and Madison). Kids keep life interesting don't they? I'm glad to hear you guys were able to go at least and have fun!
