The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, and we were loaded in thte car to head to Fort Wayne. We made it about 20 minutes north, and we heard some gagging from the back seat. I turned around just in time to see Lilah vomit about four times all over herself and her car seat. The kind people at Holiday Inn Express went above and beyond to help us. About 45 minutes later, we had Lilah back in her carseat (covered by a bed sheet with holes cut for the car seat straps) and were back in the car on the way home to Bloomington. Magically, Santa had delivered presents and stockings to our house while we were on the road. Elise was hesitant initially about touching the gifts (it wasn't Christmas morning, after all), but we convinced her that Santa wouldn't have delivered the gifts if we weren't to open them. So, on December 22nd in the evening, we had our first Christmas celebration. Poor Lilah didn't feel too great, but she was back to her normal self by morning.
