Celebrated Christmas with the in-laws this past weekend and what a weekend it was…
Christmas night the boys ended up throwing up so I stayed home from work Thursday to help them out and to get last-minute items ready for the swarm that was coming on Friday. Friday, I'm not feeling real great but we have everything just perfect a few hours before the first wave shows up. Shortly after arrival, it is my turn so don't see the rest of the crowd until the next morning. Wife not feeling well either but she pushes on. (What that woman can muscle through leaves me in a whimpering mass)
We do homemade donuts in the garage Saturday morning, pull the kids in sleds behind the ATV in the afternoon, open gifts Saturday evening, and eat WAY too much food all weekend long or at least those who are feeling good do. As usual my wife went WAY above and beyond to make it a special time for everyone. It was great to see everyone and especially fun to see the young cousins all playing so well together too.
All in all the weekend was a great success but having a houseful of 19 people while dealing with a NASTY flubug-type of thing was NOT fun. Sure hope the cans of Lisol and other measures we took keep everyone else from contracting the bug that has overtaken our family as it REALLY sucks.
