Leila's 2nd Christmas, belated

Leila got really sick the night of the 23rd with a high fever. She was ill on Christmas Eve and her fever spiked on Christmas Day. Needless to say, it was not the super-exciting 2nd Christmas we were hoping for. We had picked out Elmo slippers and found a tickle-me-Elmo for this Elmo-obsessed tot and she wanted nothing to do with them. She said NO NO and pushed them away. The pictures below tell the whole story.

Sad...

Sadder...

Saddest.....

Our little princess was so sick she did not even want a kiss from mommy and daddy...

But seeing her aunts and uncles and Nana and Pops perked her up for a little bit and she managed a smile. Her adorable outfit didn't hurt either. Also, my brother Jimmy is newly engaged and his sweet fiancee Courtney was with us for the first time, so Leila tried to be happy for their sake.

Sadly, lunch at my parent's house wore her out so much she did not last 15 minutes at Mimi and Dude McKinney's. Leila slept for 14 hours straight Christmas night.

Our sweet girl looked so cute on Christmas Eve, fever and all. Below is a picture of us from last Christmas Eve.
