Jer's Christmas and New Years vacation

Since we all had that yucky flu that's going around... Jer's week off between Christmas and New Years was timely but less eventful than we had planned.  It looked a lot like this (pretty much 17 out of the 20 grandkids that we visited with were sick during vactions):

We visited both my parents and Jer's because we were ALL sick anyways.  It also looked a lot like this:

With just a little of this thrown in (We bought this Toy Story train last year but had meat to get the Duplo one for Sam for Christmas... made a mistake and got the lego one instead.  Instead of giving it to Sam... we kept it for Jer. It is a cool train):

New Years Eve was games, chocolate, and gabbing.  While it doesn't rival the dance party of last year I think everyone was glad to laze around a little.  Maybe next year we'll avoid the sick part of it, but we still had fun.
