So, I'm at home today, trying to get over a sore throat. Hopefully it won't get any worse come this weekend when we fly home to England.
The past week or so have been pretty crazy, two mondays ago the remnants of our fall soccer team, Barcapool, met for one last hurrah at Redmond's, to watch the Bears trash the Rams. Left to right, in the first photo, you have Stephanie, Holly, Me, Pam and Seth:
Thanks to Steph for the pics. Do y'see the sweater? It's been my number one piece of clothing since I discovered it in our closet, it says 'Lee's Construction' on it and was evidently designed to withstand the elements. I don't know why but I've enjoyed being overtly 'blue collar'.
Thursday we had our housegroup's christmas dinner, a few gifts exchanged, some settlers of course, and a big white bow not pictured here for my sake:
Saturday we went to two different christmas parties, one was a massive children-infested (in a good way) cookie contest at the Fullers and then we moved onto the Cadys for to bop the next few hours away. Sadly there are no pics as we forgot the camera.
Sunday, Erika and I skipped church in the morning and went to a different service to which our friend invited us in the afternoon, a Christmas special. The highlight must have been the 50-strong choir singing the Hallelujah chorus.
During the weekend, Erika's cousin gave birth to a baby girl, Congratulations to Elizabeth and Zach, and welcome to Isabel:
Finally, my father-in-law makes the best Santa you could imagine:
