Despite the hurdles of illness and weather-related traveling woes, we've been able to have a fun holiday so far with family. My parents, Meredith's and Elaine's Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Dave, have come to Minneapolis to spend the holidays with us. Uncle Jesse rode out with them after flying into Green Bay from Arizona. We were also pleased to host the Jensen family. Meredith enjoys playing with her cousins Kayla, Natalya, and especially Zach. Zach is apparently a really cool guy according to Meredith. (I'd concur.) Their mom, Aunt Sonja, drove the five hours each way during questionable road conditions to spend the weekend with us.
Last week, Elaine was sick and Meredith was very sick. I got sick in time for everyone to come and was bedridden for much of the past 4 or 5 days. It's not been fun, but our main hope is to be well by the time we fly to Florida on Jan 1.
Below are some pictures from the past week. It appears upon viewing that Jen probably took a lot of these since she doesn't appear in them. Grandpa Dave escaped the camera this time too. So we'll have to rectify that.

Also, last Friday Meredith's school presented a whole program of holiday songs from the preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes. The below video is one sampling. Apologies for the low production values. The brief moment of darkness in the middle is my attempt to record Elaine's reaction to the singing. Meredith is sitting in the front, middle with a red Nordic sweater.
