It has been awhile since we posted. Christmas alone would be a good excuse, but when you add illnesses and long weeks to the list it becomes more than understandable. Somehow I missed the Christmas countdown and thought (up till last Sunday) that I had one more week before Christmas. This caused our family some issues because we weren’t ready. I had to finish making a gift, we had to buy a gift, and nothing was wrapped.
We had thought we were going to make a goose and found out that the only goose in the area was a $45.00 bird (for a amazing 10 pounds). So, instead I made Southern macarroni and cheese for everyone and the world’s most incredible fudge. It was a good thing cause illness racked the week.
First Marcus was sick, then Peter. I ended up with a cold. Come Christmas morning we found out that Caleb was sick and sadly before the day was over the flu had taken another victim in Mary. I still feel ill from the cold, but we are not sure that the rest of the family is alive. We will call later to find out.
Even with all of this, I am very thankful for our Christmas. The food was great, the presents were wonderful, and having a family to spend the season with even better. Hope yours was also a great Christmas (and minus illness).
