Christmas

Christmas was rather different this year for us. We spent Wednesday to Saturday with my parents in Aurora. We normally spend Christmas at home, but due to the present we are giving my parents we needed to be there and it was really the only time Shilo and Ryan could be there too.
So before Christmas we had all had a cold at some point or another. Brooke and Mike were just getting over it. Well when we left Wednesday I started in on a sore throat. Which only worsened as we were there (although the work we were doing didn't help any at all). We all worked throughout Christmas, unfortunately. We also didn't get it finished which was a huge disapointment, but my parents love our gift. We are remodeling/finishing the bathroom in the basement. We had to tear down the old drywall and put up new. Due to the year it was built and the contractor doing anything in the house is a major pain in the butt!!
Brooke had fun but it was a little difficult for her to have to wait between presents for her aunts and uncles to open their gifts too. But she had fun.
Saturday we followed my parents and some siblings over to my Grandparents in Kanosh for a few hours to visit, since we couldn't stay due to the unplanned length of time we stayed at my parents'. After we headed home to spend a little time with the nephews since we wouldn't see them again before they went back to their mom's.
All in all it was a good Christmas. Mike spoiled me this year. And... he even went shopping once again without me and I didn't know anything that I was getting. I was excited!!
After Christmas however, my cold worsened. Mike's did too but not as bad as mine. He is finally over it, but I am still wondering if it is lingering with me. ARGH!!! I want it to be warm. I want to air out my house.........
Anyway We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas (even though this is a few weeks late)
