Family Sickness Party

On the Saturday before Christmas, we got together with my mom's side of the family.  We had dinner, played games, exchanged presents, and got sick.

Dinner was pizza, and then extra's brought by the rest of us.  My grandma got some games ready for us, and then we got to do the present exchange for any child that was still in high school or younger.  We had the party at the church so that the kids could play in the gym and not bother the adults and so that there was room for us all.  It was really nice.

We had a rough Christmas this year in terms of illness.  This day Emma woke up with a cough.  We went to the family party.  My uncle stayed home because he wasn't feeling well, but the rest of his family came.  Little did they know, they were sharing the illness with all of the family.  It was highly contagious.  At our house, me, Elina and Ashton got it.  In addition, my mom, Cassidy, her two boys, my grandma, and the list goes on.  It was reminiscent of the Christmas of 2003 when most of the Brown family was sick with the flu.  Luckily, this flu was short 12 hours or so.  I came down with it first on Sunday night, and missed work on Monday. 

We followed the flu with colds and then the girls got Strep.  Oh, it was fun!  Merry Christmas!
