Well, it wasn’t just Santa who came to town this year but
Joe and Christine from Chicago. Joe is a lifelong family friend of mine – we just
refer to each other as cousins to other people – makes the explanation much
easier. He decided to check out the area and we were happy to have him and
Christine with us for a few days.
We started their adventure bowling with Matt and his kids
and oh boy…..words cannot describe that madness, followed by dinner. Saturday,
Jason, Joe, Christine and I went to watch UNC play UNLV play basketball in
Chapel Hill. Joe is a UNLV grad and that made the timing of his visit more
relevant.
We had some down time the next day as we got ready for New
Year’s Eve. We had dinner at home and then my Mom watched the boys – or should
I say stayed home with the sleeping boys- while the adults went out for some
drinks and fun.

The next day was spent watching football for hours and then Joe and Christine
headed off to explore the area on their own for the rest of the week.
It was great to have them but I am glad that they left when
they did because we got sick…and when I say we, I mean WE, AS IN ALL OF US! I
can’t say that it was the flu because no one ever ran a fever but it started
with Anthony for 2 days, then Jack and I got it at the same time, followed by
Graham finished off with Chase and Jason. The sickness is bad enough but the
timing sent me into a panic. Why? Because in just over 1 week we were
surprising the kids and going to Disney World for a week and I had been
planning that trip for over a YEAR! What happened? Read the next entry to find
out!
