The month of December was so crazy! Two bouts of strep throat, one ear infection and four cases of influenza. Somehow in between and during these difficult days of sickness for our family, we also experienced zoo lights, the Nutcracker, a trip to Camano, the Xmas tree farm, St Nicholas Day, a family church holiday party, making cookies for Santa, Advent, matching jammies, Christmas morning, cousin and grandparent time, little hikes (to get some fresh air after all the SICKNESS, ugh), ice skating, new pets, and a lot of togetherness. Honestly this year, I was the sickest of everyone, which is a rare situation. Usually I stay pretty healthy, but it was bad this year. Lots of missed opportunities with family and friends, but also lots of forced rest and home days. Thankul to be healthy again! Merry Christmas!

Royal the betta fish, Flash the golden snail, and Sir Hops-a-Lot
