Apparently I set this as a "scheduled" post, I was a little off on the date:)
A few days after we arrived was our first doctors visit for Miss Greta. She had a cough. They had to
test her for Pertussis (whooping cough) as she did not have her 2 month vaccines yet. Just a little nose swab they said, and of course that is what I was picturing. But really, it was a 6 inch or so long thin wire that they stuck up her poor little nose and into the back of her throat. Yaaaaa! Anyway, she was negative so that's good.
So on we go we go with some normal holiday activities: We made cookies, wrapped gifts, opened gifts, hung with the fam, and of course ate lutefisk and some raw beef with a little raw egg and onion mixed in for good taste. We had a little soiree for Bobs birthday on
Christmas eve and then had a brunch on Christmas morning at my parents with some traditional breakfast fare, sweet treats, and spicy libations. We then proceeded to duplicate our 2013 Christmas day outing and went bowling! Good ol' Sun Ray Bowling Lanes doesn't disappoint. We got the two lanes
at the end so we didn't have to worry about wandering offspring and went at it for our 2 hours of unlimited bowling.
We had our German Christmas celebration with my parents and sis and fam; ate the aforementioned grub of jello fish and guhuctus and exchanged generosities of the season.
We visited the extended fam too; the cousin lot keeps expanding!!
On New Year's Eve Dave and I hit the Nordeast corridor to watch Paul play in his band "The Drug Budget" as we rang in 2015.
Good times!
