The Benson's found a fantastic way to kick off our trip: an evening at Hang Time! This is a building filled with giant trampolines, foam pits and a dodgeball arena. I wasn't able to participate in the jumping, but it was so fun to watch everybody else!
Not only was my sister-in-law Amy's family kind enough to let us stay with them, but she even threw a baby shower for me and Josh's cousin, Brenda. We had a fantastic time and are beyond grateful for the adorable baby gifts we received! The only downer was that Josh came down with chills, a headache, sore throat, and a 104 degree fever a few hours before the shower. He was only able to put in a brief appearance.
Josh's sickness didn't let up the next day, so he spent most of Christmas Eve in bed. In the evening, we managed to get over to Josh's parents for a little while and spend time with them and a few of his siblings watching Home Alone.
On Christmas morning we got up to watch David and Amy's kids open their presents. During the festivities, I began to feel nauseous. I thought it might be because I needed to eat, so Josh made me some Breakfast Chocolate Milk. Not long after I was throwing up. I spent the rest of Christmas day in bed with some sort of terrible stomach bug. As it turns out, half of the guests at the baby shower had the exact same thing! Josh was well enough to go to the Benson family Christmas Day celebration that evening, but I was out of commission until the next day.
Through out the trip, we were able to play lots of games, go see Les Miserables, see the new City Creek shopping center, admire the lights at Temple Square, and more! (I realize my over-size coat over my huge pregnant belly makes me look like an oompa loompa...but at least it kept me warm!)
