Time sure does fly when you're having fun. The Christmas party circuit started for us on Sunday. The entire English family traveled over the hills and through the woods to Hillsdale to celebrate Christmas. It was a very relaxing day. And from what I could tell everyone had a GREAT time.
On Christmas Eve the four of us did our traditional Christmas. We had appetizers, opened presents and watched movies. We turned in early in preparation for the next days activities. At around 11:oo Dan got up and was extremely sick. Then at 11:30 Nate was sick. Through out the rest of the night the two of them tagged team bathroom detail. At around 6:oo am Matt joined the mix. It seemed I was the only one to escape the bug, so naturally we thought it might be something food related.
I called my mom and told her that we would not be coming in because of the illness. She, of course, was heartbroken. At around 1:00 she called and insisted that I come in. She said she had a surprise. At that time Matt was feeling well enough to travel with me. When we got to Busia and Papa's we were greeted by the Texans. Phil, June, Morgan and Gwen surprised my parents and flew in from Dallas. They took a cab from the airport to surprise my parents.

If you were wondering, I too, got sick. Matt and I spent the night at my parents and at around 3:00 I became ill. Eventhough I was ill I didn't let it ruin Donna day. I did my traditional day after Christmas shopping. After that is a different story. I came back to Hillsdale, curled up with two blankets on me and the fireplace on high.
