Saturday 12/20
Our Christmas week started on Saturday, December 20th where we went to Tammy's house and celebrate my Uncle Jeff's birthday and enjoy some holiday cheer. Tammy ordered catered food of delicious and authentic Mexican food. They served enchiladas, tacos, tamales, rice, beans, chips and salsa. We did a fun gift exchange where Mike got a singing Snowman and I got a pewter cheese block. There were so many gifts all around that I actually forgot to take the cheese block, oh well...Michelle loved playing with the Rock Band Game and Emmet just wanted to be held by Mom...nap deprived, Emmet was ready to go as soon as he had finished his last cookie!

We drove over to Billy's new place where we decorated the Christmas tree, took pictures, ate some amazing meats (BBQ'd by Mike). Billy, Laurie, Dad, Andrea, Andrea's daughter, Kate, her husband, Josh, and their daughter, Megan, Mike, Michelle and Emmet. The kids opened their gifts and they got some pretty amazing things!
Monday 12/22 - Both kids woke up with horrible coughs and congestion, including mom. We took a visit to the doctors where they both were put on antibiotics. We were instructed to drink a lot of fluids, get lots of rest and take the medicine that was prescribed. I had originally planned on taking the kids to see Helene and Pam (who was visiting from Florida), but we had to cancel due to the illnesses.
Tuesday 12/23 - Michelle and I went to Best Buy to buy some fun gifts for Dad. Michelle decided to get "Meet The Robinsons" and to buy two iphones for mom and dad. She asked for the cheapest payment plan so it would not break the bank. The nice lady wrapped up the gifts and said that we could not activate these until Christmas Day.
Wednesday 12/24
The kids started to feel better and were looking forward to a special Christmas celebration. Mike prepared a special dish called, "Coq Au Vin" and oh was that delicious!
