Christmas

I am so far behind on updating this blog that it's already April and I haven't even posted about Christmas yet.  It was really fun to have Will home with us this year.  The previous two years we decided not to do Secret Santa because only part of the family likes doing it but with Will back we did it again this year--it's always been a favorite tradition for him.  We also had the Aliens deliver undies and socks, like normal.  I think Eli got a tie, so not just undies and socks.  Grandma and Grandpa Richards came to celebrate with us.  We've never had them at our house for Christmas so it was fun to have them join us for our Christmas festivities.  Unfortunately, almost all of us got sick at one point just before or after Christmas.  Lots of diarrhea and even a little bit of barfing.  We were so kind and shared it with Grandma just as she was hopping on a flight to California.  Besides the sickness, it was a really good Christmas.
