Happy New Year

What a glorious holiday we had. We celebrated Christmas with my family at Mom's and then had lunch and then headed north and celebrated at the Tuttle's. It was very nice seeing all the family and celebrating Christmas with all. It was nice having Michael, his girlfriend, her 2 boys, and Maddie down to stay at our house after Christmas. We also hosted our house on Wednesday around 10:30 to the swim team, around 30 swimmers, for between sessions food and rest. I am glad we have a basement. We were to meet Michael in Plainfield that day because he had gone to a movie with Terri and her sons and the plan was to get Maddie to him so he could take her to the airport, then he was going to drive back to Connecticut with Terri and the boys. Maddie was to head home that day, but her connecting flight in Chicago was delayed and she was going to have to wait until the next day to fly out from Chicago, and the airlines were not going to pay for a hotel, so she called us from the Indy airport, we were still in Plainfield which is less than 10 minutes to the airport, and we just went and picked her up and she flew out the next morning. Peri and Ella both got sick over the break, but it was that one day bug that was apparently going around.
Our new year was rather laid back, but we really needed that, I think. We stayed home and Peri had a friend over. Ella had a lock-in at the high school with the swim team.
So that was our break in a nutshell. It was pretty hectic, but we survived to tell about it. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and new year and may the new year bring more joy and happiness to everyone's lives.
