We enjoyed a busy, but sick, holiday season. It must have been intuition to use the quote from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" on our Christmas card this year...
"Welcome Christmas! Bring your cheer! Cheer to all Who's far and near! Christmas day is in our grasp, so long as we have hands to clasp.
Christmas day will always be, just as long as we have we".
And, We had We...We spent a lot of time alone this holiday due to one sick person, or another. Eden, Ty and I missed the Forcht Christmas get-together on the 23rd because those two were sick. That was a huge bummer! Thankfully my Mom and Dad still came out to our house on the 24th and spent the night with us even though Eden was sick. Unfortunately my Dad and I both got sick on Christmas day! Then we had a small break from illness until New Year's Eve, when Colin got sick, cancelling out our plans for the evening.
Regardless, it was still a nice holiday. We had the opportunity to spend the last night of Hanukkah with my sister and her family, and got to see my niece, Lillian, in the Rose Theatre's production "Madeline's Christmas". I'm glad we didn't miss that!
So... things can only get better from here, right? We at least started 2013 all healthy! {Colin's fever gradually went down on New Year's Eve and was gone on New Year's Day}. The kids are back in school, and now I can start my very cliche January cleanse...fresh slate!
Hope you holidays were happy! I'm off to continue my purge!
