I think I may have jinxed our Christmas celebration this year with my complete lack of spirit during the early Christmas season. After some mad last minute shopping (thank you Amazon prime!), the Long family was all packed and ready for a nice long weekend with the family in Ohio. The car was crammed full of gifts, luggage, and dogs. Our last step was to put Madeline in her pajamas for a nice long car ride. Imagine our surprise when we realized that the case of dry skin she had on her face had turned to a full fledge rash on her hands. A quick stop by the urgent care center confirmed what we had already discovered on Wedmd - a seriously disgusting, highly contagious virus called Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease! Not to mention two screaming ear infections. And we didn't have a clue. In the 3 hours it took us to get out of the urgent care center, the nastiness has spread to her legs and bottom. And there went our Christmas plans.....
Pictured here with the beautiful, scabby, raw mess that covered her body.
We were officially banned from venues with children, so no Christmas with the Webb family. I did skype in for dinner and presents though. Fortunately Brad's side does not have any other children, so we did manage to spend a nice long weekend with his family.
