We headed up to the cities last Thursday to celebrate Christmas with the Stepecs. We did manage a quick trip to Ikea on the way to the Mall of America. Our dear friend Christie gave us some free wrist bands so Steve and Jack went on a few rides. Jack loved them! I think riding the carousel was his favorite. I do have some pictures which I'll have to work on posting. We checked in at our hotel later that evening. Jack couldn't quite figure out the hotel business, so he kept wandering around wondering where stuff was. He quickly adjusted once he saw there was a pool right out our room and when he realized we packed his basketball hoop.
We stayed at the Grand Rios Hotel and Waterpark, so once everyone else got checked in on Friday we headed down to the waterpark for a while. We also opened presents that night! Jack got a Little People airport, clipos, and some new clothes.
Our weekend couldn't be complete without a sick kid. Jack woke up Thursday night running a fever (only we didn't figure that out until Friday afternoon when it was up to 102 or 103...nice, parents I know). We couldn't get the fever to break or stay down so we ended up heading out Saturday morning after we opened our stockings. He was such a trooper considering how sick he was. Poor guy. We came home and headed to Urgent Care where they said he has a virus, that makes his throat look "nasty" and he has some cold sores in his mouth. Basically gave us a steroid to use and told us to make sure he drinks something. He hardly drank or ate anything at all yesterday. Once we got back from the doctor he ate 2 popsicles and a piece of pizza. He's taking advantage of us giving him anything he wants which is fine with me.
Today Jack and I are hanging out, and for those of you who know how I hate sitting still this is not small project. Jack wants me to sit with him at all times or sit in my lap and play with him. Steve has stuff all morning and evening so hopefully he can come home for a little while so I can run to the grocery store.
So once Jack lets me move to the other computer I'll post some cute pictures of the weekend.

We are snowed in out at dad's... if you're bored, call me at Erin's.
Love you.
Too bad Jack was sick! I hope you don't get too bored. :)
Sounds like you had some fun at least before his temp really went up! I hope he's feeling better.
