This last weekend, we made the trek back to GB, where we are both from but only my parents still reside, for the Boone Family Christmas! We picked up one of my brother, Jordan's, Christmas gifts here and hauled it back to Christmas. It was an air hockey table, which seemed easy enough... except when you are transporting a mini-horse in your back seat...

Not the best pictures, but you get the idea, it was TIGHT! To make the ride even more enjoyable, for the last 20 miles our car decided to pull an attitude and not go above 30 mph... NICE. We finally got to my parents, unloaded and fed Miss Bailey then headed out to eat. When we got back the car had gotten its rest and of course lost the attitude. Despite this we still took it in the next morning for a $200 attitude adjustment!
Then I got 'ze flu' (read the flu with a french accent). Thankfully I never threw up but other areas of my body were drastically malfunctioning!!! Needless to say it could have been much worse, but there was no way I was leaving the house! I also had no appetite which REALLY sucks b/c my mom always cooks basically whatever we request when we go back! :)
Miss Bailey and Duke got along much better this weekend, which was great! Jordan totally wore out Miss Bailey - chasing her and Duke and playing with them up in his room and in the backyard, she didn't even get her morning/afternoon/evening naps! I know she had a blast at Grandma and Grandpa's house! :)
Saturday night I pulled it together and went with the family to Jordan's Christmas Play at church where he was one of the 3 Kings! Then we went back to the house and opened gifts. My mom and dad got a new bedroom set which I am in love with! So happy for them to finally have something they enjoy! Sunday they made a prime rib for lunch which I'm sure would have been amazing had I not been queasy still! :( Then we played games for a while before heading back to Lawrence (thankfully we drove ABOVE 30 the whole way ;)
