All We Want For Christmas ... Is Good Health

We managed to get everyone up off the couch for one Christmas Day photo.
Christmas 2012 will go down as the "year that we were all sick." Well, not all of us were sick - but most of us. Julia (fever, cough and sore throat) was worse off. Veronica was also saddled with a fever. Lauren started feeling bad at some point. Not long after that, Olivia was down and out.

So Emily and I were pretty much the only two "doing fine." This explains why no one wanted to go swimming in the hotel pool this morning. Well, Olivia wanted to, but she said it wouldn't be any fun if there was only one or two of us there.

It wasn't long before the 11 a.m. checkout time started creeping up on us, so Emily and I began cleaning and packing up. Though not pictured here, getting the luggage cart from the lobby is always a fun time and Julia and Olivia were up to the task.

Upon our arrival home, we found Santa had visited us overnight. His note answered Julia's question about what time he arrived.

Santa's note. He enjoyed Olivia's cookies.
Poor Olivia. She fell asleep like this in the living room.
So we moved her to this chair.
Lauren made me this terrific piece of artwork. Nice foil background.
Emily made cheesy potato casserole (with help from Aunt Bridget.)
