This year we took a whole week off so we could visit folks in Rochester and Syracuse. A friend of ours from church offered her home for us to stay in while we visited. The time was spent restfully, lots of friends, family, movies, and relaxing, also a fair bit of driving as we deposited Katie at her mom's for a few days and later picked her up.
Derek got a fever on Christmas day so we laid low for the next day as he recovered. Took the kids sledding and Derek lost his nerve. Elinor meanwhile went down the big hill several times bravely by herself.
We had time to visit with Aunt Nancy and my good friend Jackie. The kids were enthralled by her wii and she lent them her Nintendo DS's which scored major points and kept the kids happy during all the down time over the next few days.
Sunday the kids and I worshiped in the church Mike and I got married in. Spent the rest of the day chilling out at a friend's house.
Monday we visited with the extended family on my mom's side, played games and ate a lot of tasty food The kids made their own pizzas.
Tuesday night we saw in the new year with Mike's family, all crowded into his dad's small (right-sized) house, it was a lot of fun.
