Christmas Part II

On the 3rd, we got together at Patrick and Karen's house to celebrate Christmas with them. Pepere had moved from our house to theirs, so he was with us as well. 

Unfortunately, Karen had the flu, so she stayed upstairs the whole time to keep from infecting us. And MJ woke up that morning feeling sick, so we all tested for flu as well, to make sure we weren't bringing it to Patrick or the boys (or bringing a different strain). Fortunately none of us had Flu A, Flu B, or Covid -- MJ just had a cold -- so we had a smaller visit, without MJ or Karen. 




But it was still nice. We exchanged gifts, had a nice meal, and just enjoyed each other's company. The boys played video games together, and CC was surprised to learn that Braxton and Bryson share a love for the Keeper of the Lost Cities books! They had quite a lively conversation, debating their favorite characters and plot points. Little Man loved the Zelda Encyclopedia he received, and coincidentally Braxton received a Zelda book that Little Man already has, so the two of them immediately curled up on the couch to dive in.
