Christmas this year, was in Mesa and all the family was there for it. We had lots of big plans for the days we were together and sadly didn't really accomplish them all. On Christmas Eve we went bowling. I hadn't been bowling in quite some time. It was fun except that we got there after having looked to make sure they'd be open, and they told us they were closing in an hour. So, being the troopers we are, we decided to have a real fast game. It was highly entertaining to watch. I'll try and get some of those pictures posted. I have to admit that I came in last place or second to last. I started out strong and soon lost that lead! After our quick game we left and thats pretty much when all our plans fell apart. Kierst, mom and I ran to Costco real fast and that is where Mhari decided to leave her lunch! She started feeling sick towards the end of our game and by the time we got to Costco she was done. So Christmas Eve, Mhari was sick and Cora (BrieAnn's daughter) was also throwing up on their way down from Safford. Brie and Jake got sick later that night also. Christmas day, Mhari was feeling better (after having fainted twice), but then James was sick. It was pretty much the domino effect after that. One by one, we all got this nice stomach bug. With the exception of Steve and Kiersty. They were the only ones who survive the weekend. But because of our little sick bug we didn't really do much. We tried but none of us were really feeling that great! Even Andrew's 1st birthday party had to get cancelled. We still gave him a party but it was much different than we had planned! Good thing he doesn't know any better!
Anyways, this is getting long. In all honesty, despite being sick and not getting to do all that we had planned, we did make the most of our time together. I think we still had a fun week and a great Christmas! I'm glad we were all able to be together this year and it was so fun to have Andrew experience Christmas. He didn't quite get it but he did love some of his presents!
