Wonderful Christmas

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with family and a special friend  named Mar.  We enjoyed our old traditions and introduced some new ones.  Scott and Mandy introduced a new family Christmas tradition.  They brought a wrapped present where everyone had three guesses as to what they thought was inside.  The person with the best guess received the prize.  Leah was the winner!!  She guess the present was a Mr. Potato Head and the prize was a Fisher-Price - The Sing-A-Ma-Jigs.


Aidan wrote a new story for the Left/Right game.  Rod also wrote a new children's story for the family about Natasha and a Leprechaun.

Lindsey gave the family a unique gift.  It was a Wasgij Christmas Puzzle.  The picture on the outside of the box is not the same as the finished puzzle.  The box gave us some clues to help us put the puzzle together but we didn't discover what the picture was about until it was done.  It was really fun to put together and I am sure we will put the puzzle together next Christmas.



On the down side, we did have some people  that were sick during the holidays.  Samantha came down with the flu first and then Crystal, Mar and Lindsey.  Lindsey was really sick with a fever, nausea and just feeling awful.  It lasted for a few days and then all of them returned back to health.  Thankfully, Rod and I did not catch what was going around.
