2023 :: 51/52

 Wednesday it was so nice out! 40 degrees and sunny. i went to goodwill, grocery store, worked out at 12 and visited my friend Trina who had her appendix removed the day before. After school we went to irvine to walk around the lights display and then stopped at olson's ice cream. I started having some heart flutters at night tuesday and wednesday.

thursday was the christmas party at the daycare so I worked at jodi's for that then worked out at noon. trevor had his last basketball practice until the new year. 

friday i worked out at 9am, cleaned the house, then we had cam & brooklyn over after school to play until 530. 

saturday was our christmas with grandpa peter and auntie althea. we had thanksgiving food and it was delicious again. the kids loved their presents from althea and molly. and the money they got from grandpa peter, grandma DD and grandpa Rick. by this day, my heart flutters were happening all throughout the day too. Al and i looked it up, and thought it sounded like it was from stress. 

sunday was christmas eve. we packed up and drove to the cities making it there for the vikings game at noon. then after the game, my dad came over and we did some presents and played lots of games. we had ham and potatos for supper. 

monday was christmas day so we lounged at mom's house opening presents and stockings. then we had mom's side christmas at maren's house at 3pm. it was fun! i played bingo with the kids for their presents and maren had a game & presents for them too. we had tacos and lefse and lots of cookies! i gave away my read books to the adults. 

tuesday morning we drove to my cousin sara's house for one last christmas get together at 10. we got to see sara, her husband eric, & their 2 boys Elliot & Cameron, along with my cousin molly and auntie sandy and uncle darrell. it was a good time. we headed home about 12. once home, Al went in to work for a few hours since they still required him to get all his hours in to get his holiday pay and I had to do payroll.
