Today was the Christmas with our immediate family on Hubby's side, these crazy Middle Canadians. We currently have 15 of us with a boyfriend and father in law joining to make it 17.
This morning only 10 of us made it to church. We all gathered for coffee, cake and present opening in the afternoon, but only after Hubby, who has been raging sick for the last 3 days, had a nap. By the end of present opening, 3 more felt unwell. As we prepared dinner, another fell sick and we put up a ban around the kitchen and food prep, leaving it to my MIL, Lisa (my sil) and me.
By the end of dinner, 4 members left for home and bed, Hubby, his dad and sister all crashed, the 4 remaining kids watched a movie while 5 of us played cards. Before the movie was done, 2 kids, including Pookie came over with achy bodies begging to go to bed...at 8 pm.
So, as it stands now, Hubby and Pookie are very sick, Bear is recovering but still really stuffy and I am fighting to keep sickness at bay. Should be an excellent flight tomorrow, can't wait!
The good news was in that 2 hour window of opening presents, watching all the cousins play with each other, snacking and drinking...it was awesome.

Still the healthy hold-outs here... I guess that would make us the winners? Although I do hate to gloat about something like that.... (not really).
