Gosh, I love our tradition of how I get the kids (and myself) vaccinated from the flu each year. Flu Shot Extravaganza has become quite the event. Each year we meet up with our good friends, get the vaccination, do dinner and then get ice cream. Can you ask for anything better when having to get a shot?
Unfortunately the mist is no longer manufactured and therefore, it's the needle or nothing. This doesn't sit well with Sam and I can never tell if she is going to go thru with getting it done, but somehow the idea of dessert at the end of our evening is enough of a motivation for her. And we are making progress in Sam's resistance. Last year I believe it took approx. 40 minutes of trying to get her to stay still before the nurse could stick her. This year it only took about 10 minutes. Albeit, it was a loud 10 minutes. But she did it!
Ian was a rockstar and wasn't even sure the nurse stuck him. Dinner this year was at Olive Garden and ice cream after was Baskin Robbins. Flu Shot Extravaganza = best idea ever!

| Don't let the smile on Sam's face fool you. It went quickly downhill from the very next second. |

| Our very sweet ending! |
