I haven't been blogging because I've been busy with the holidays, but also because I've been sick, and mostly because I haven't been running. Despite my being sick, we had a great Christmas. We spent most of Christmas day and today doing family stuff together. Both of our adult children that are living away from home are home for the holidays. Our youngest is 9 so she was old enough to play all of the games we played. We've enjoyed eating, watching movies, playing various games together, and just hanging out. We were just taking turns playing Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii, but our two new favorite games are both card games, The Great Dalmuti and Bang! We explained to our children (none married yet) that any potential in-laws must pass the "fun to play games with" requirement to be in consideration for joining the family. I've sure been blessed with a wonderful family. That goes for the extended families on both sides as well. The Thomas clan (just under 40 of us I think) were at our house Sunday evening for the annual Thomas Family Christmas Party. There probably aren't too many families who get together to play Bunco as their annual Christmas tradition, but we've done it for a number of years now, and everyone looks forward to it. This year was as fun as ever. I hope to get back to running tomorrow.
