So, the last Christmas of the decade was supposed to be fun and exciting, and truly it was, but it was also an adventure and a pain. First, Minnesota officially became the new North Pole on Christmas Eve with all the snow. Driving to my parents' house I felt like I was living out the song, "Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go." We had a great time Christmas Eve with my parents, siblings, niece and the cousins Hosch (who were all snowed in with us). Christmas Day started with a quick load of laundry. Then during breakfast, I notice a burning smell which I immediately thought was Michelle's baking. To our surprise, this stink was coming from the basement and smelt of burnt rubber. I discovered that our washing machine had burnt out mid-cycle! Yay!!! What else can happen today? Oh, it's freezing rain and Quin & I can't drive into my Grandma's to see my parents (his grandparents) before they leave for Taiwan; oh well, we had a nice Christmas Day lunch with the Jensen's before departing to Grandma & Grandpa I's to take a long winter's nap until the Iverson Christmas dinner started. After our nap we started our Christmas day/night party with Michelle's family; also a blast much like the evening before it.
After a long day, we headed home to bed and looking forward to a relaxing rest of the weekend. Michelle & I had lunch with Kyle & Ellen on Saturday which Quin hung out with Grandma & Grandpa I. After that, we picked up Quin and headed for Target to pick up some much needed diapers. As we near the end of our shopping, Michelle turns to me and says "we need to leave, I don't feel good." We get home and Michelle gets sick. Within a few hours I'm sick as well. We stay home from church on Sunday feeling miserable. Michelle, still not feeling well, asks me to stay home from work on Monday to watch Quin in case she's still sick; so I plan on it. Monday comes and Michelle is feeling better (well enough to go to her first round of hand therapy) so I'm planning on going to work until we find that for the third time in two weeks our furnace is not running. Joy!!! And now, to top it off I can't pull the pictures from this fun-filled weekend off of Michelle's new memory card. So instead of looking at pictures from this weekend you get to listen to my play-by-play. I hope it has amused you. As soon as I can pictures up, I will. I can only pray that 2010 does not start out the way 2009 is ending - ha-hah!!!
