I got a stomach flu last week. I had to stay home for a couple days. Ugh. It’s better than the real flu though. Eden and Elisa didn’t pick it up, thankfully. It’s always nice to have Chad home, even if he is sick.
Eden discovered that her favorite food is egg nog. She drank my entire glass on Friday night. She was practically hyperventilating she was so excited. We discovered we need to limit her intake. A half hour later we were at IHOP to celebrate my birthday. (We’re IHOP fans, OK?) All of a sudden Eden lost all her egg nog. 4 times. Good thing we weren’t at a posh restaurant, right? Or at home! It turns out that Eden wasn’t sick though. She had just lost her first gallon challenge. Surprisingly, the next night she still hyperventilated the same way when she was in the same room with egg nog. The second time we cut her off after half a glass.
My birthday was on Friday. Elisa made me a treasure hunt through the apartment. I didn’t have to keep asking for hints like last year, which is good. I was still pretty beat from being sick, so it was nice to have a laid-back night.
Elisa and I went to Park City on Saturday. Thanks JB and Hillary for watching Eden all morning! Elisa did great on her skis. She learned to turn again and went pretty fast all morning. The biggest success was that it wasn’t scary or freezing. That will make it easy to return to the mountain another day. It was scary, but I didn’t think I was going to die. 🙂

Good job with the skiing, Elisa! And Happy Birthday, Chad! That is so cute how much Eden likes Egg Nog. I think it’s pretty much the grossest drink ever invented. 🙂
Actually, Jordyn, Mom won $100 – I still remember Dad coming down the stairs holding a crisp $100 bill. He was smiling because he just happened to have received it that day for some reason.
He again had that smile as he watched Mom clean up after you lost your egg nog.
Morale of the story: don’t let infants/toddlers overdose on eggnog.
*Moral of the story…
So funny. Jeff love eggnog, luckily he is pretty good about limiting his intake himself. However, there has been a few times where I know he felt sick afters because he drank a little too much. Same for me.
Can’t wait to see you guys in a few weeks.
That’s the thing with babies and eggnog…They love it…but it is too rich. Jeffery did the same thing often until I learned.
Best $100 I ever spent. Love you guys.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.

Too bad you didn’t make a bet about how much egg nog she could drink- Dad made $100 cause of me when I was 2…
