Oh, and no newsletter or card this year. I don't think I sent one out last year either. I am trying to set a precedence of not being consistent so people don't expect every year or every other year and if I need to skip a year it doesn't throw people off. You know what I mean? Less pressure for me.
Christmas was spent at Tyler's parent's home in Colorado this year. One nice thing about being a student is that you get the holiday breaks so we were able to stay for a whole 2 weeks!!
My favorite part of the whole trip? Not having to do dishes, cook or clean. I was admittedly (and maybe rightfully so?) lazy. I sat on my tail as much as I could. The first two days I was more swollen than ever (a combination of running around the week previously getting everything ready for the flight, holiday, etc) and the elevation from flying turned me into a balloon. Luckily, all the sitting around and resting brought my ankles back. Then Samuel got sick the night before we left, Jocelyn 3 days later and me 2 days later. I've never puked so much in one sickness ever. I was hoping it would have helped me dilate, but no luck there.
Oh, and how were we able to fly? Luckily, Tyler got bumped on one of his Southwest flights this summer and received vouchers enough for Joc and I to fly. Then we had B1G1free with Delta so Tyler and Samuel flew together. We were able to fly 4 for the price of 1. However, my flight was delayed for 3 hours so I spent as much time in travel with the plane than we would have in a car. Oh, well.
Holiday activities included Avatar, cookies (of which I ate 2/3 myself!), tanks on the Wii with Papa every morning, snow, Christmas scones, way too much eating, movies, games, sickness, visiting with Jennie and Grant, playing with Aunties, and relaxation!
Favorite presents?
Mine: Dyson DC24
Tyler: black socks without holes
Samuel: Diesel 10 train
Jocelyn: 2 Princess dresses, shoes and a wand
I got a Dyson dc14 and it was my favorite present too!
ReplyDeleteYAY for your new Dyson! How fun. I'm so impressed with your freezer meals (a great idea) and it looks like you had a great Christmas break. Good luck with #3! I'm very excited for you!
