The Nugent's Arrive!

Bekah and Matt and kids all arrived Thursday night! It was so fun to have them here!! Their kids are darling and so talkative. Not shy a bit. Although I thought they might want to sleep in the bunk room and their parents in the guest room, but forgot that they were a little young to be so far from their parents.  Only Jax took us up on the bunk room offer!

It's so fun to have young kids here because they're so dang excited about the house!

Sadly Friday morning Bekah was super sick. She was in bed all day. Happily, that gave me the chance to have the kids at my kitchen counter and feed them and talk to them and hear all about what they like.

That night Dan and I went to the Christensens for their annual concert featuring Brian Stucki. I'll never get tired of listening to him sing and also being amazed at his talent on the piano and cello. Ford played quite a few numbers with him as well which is also incredible because Ford is amazingly talented in his own right!

Saturday Bekah was feeling better so we were able to run errands and go to lunch all together. We picked up Asian Star to continue our Christmas Eve tradition -- altering it to eating at home since CE was on Sunday.

Saturday night the Nugents went to a family overnight at the Grand America and our family went to Harry Potter at the symphony. Before the symphony we ate at Tejas de Brazil for everyone's favorite all you can eat meat. It was weird though because Chris hardly touched his food. He said he ate a lot, but I could tell that he didn't. I asked if he was sick and he said he felt fine.

Next year we need to remember to wear our Harry Potter robes! We even have them because of mine and Nick's trip to Harry Potter world last Spring!

Just as we got off the freeway almost home, Chris stuck his head out the window and barfed.
And by the next morning I was super sick as well.

So round two just two weeks after I got sick the first time. Why?!?!?!

Christmas Eve I tried to get up for church but couldn't. Chris tried to go and had to come home as well. We cancelled our Christmas Eve guests (except Matt & Bekah, of course, but they'd already all had it so were immune) and had a much different evening than expected.
