Christmas Eve was a really nice day. We went to church at our usual 7:30 time, enjoyed a bit of socializing over donuts after church. Jordan and I played a lot of cards (speed) while I was cooking the dinner. I made roast beef for my mom and dad. They came around 2 and we ate right away. We had a nice game of Monopoly (Steve won). We ended the evening by tuning into the TNT channel marathon of "A Christmas Story".
Christmas Day we headed up to St. Joe early for breakfast and gift exchanging with the family. We went to church at Cathedral at 10, then headed back. I took a walk trying to find some birds to photograph. Unfortunately it was EXTREMELY windy and cold. When I got back to the house, I just could not get warm. I took a little nap and then hung out around the stove to warm up. (turns out I had strep throat). Dinner was delicious. We headed back to Liberty around 6pm.
The day after Christmas was weird. I just didn't feel right. I was hot/cold and my throat kept hurting more and more as the day wore on. Now, try getting a doctor appointment the day after Christmas and see how far you get. Luckily with persistence I was able to find a doc in Liberty to see me and got on antibiotics right away after the postive test. (I won't EVEN talk about how crazy it was at Walgreen's trying to get the prescription!). I never did have a fever which was strange. Must have caught it early. By Wednesday morning I felt pretty good. The rest of the week was a bit hard, thinking of John and the kids having fun while I was working. Although John did take Jordan to the doctor as she didn't feel good Thursday. Wasn't strep, something else, and she got a shot of penicillin.
So, we are all back to good health now. It would be good to lose the holiday 7 though.
Here are some Christmas Eve and Christmas Day pictures:

The outdoor lights, a bit sparse, but I think they are nice.
