The first of many chirstmas gatherings

This past weekend was the Cleland family Christmas. We didn't start out on such a good foot however. I picked Alex up from daycare on Tues expecting to get the house picked up laundry done, packing done and so on however, Alex changed the plans we got home and before we even made it in the house he threw up all over me, 3 times. I am just thankful it was outside and not inside! So we spent the rest of the night rocking in the chair, he wasn't in the mood to do anything. He went to bed early and Wednesday morning was back to his normal self, so I finished doing all the packing and what not and we headed to Iowa, excited to see the family. Wednesday was nice and relaxing and uneventful. Thursday started out well, but quickly went down hill, I then got what ever Alex had, and was sick all afternoon and night Thursday, started feeling better Friday late afternoon. Cameron also was not feeling very well Thursday and Friday. However Friday evening he managed to throw a few back with the family. ( and when I say a few I mean more like 15-18. Saturday was good everyone seemed to be in good spirits and feeling well. the annual cousin retreat out was a good time, good drinks and good company. Alex got all kids of cool toys, and all he really cared about to play with was the balls. I really hope he is more athletic than Cameron and I so he can put it to some use. Sunday was a rush to get home because Cameron was supposed to work last night, however on the way home Cameron was sick, not feeling well again, and ended up not going to work. However all in all it was a nice time, even with the illness.
I got a cool new orange I-pod nano! I am so excited! Cameron got some tools and money , I think anytime money is involved Cameron is happy! OK well that was this Christmas, now we have one down and five more to go! Ti's' the season!
Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope you have a safe and healthy holiday season.
