New Years

The week between Christmas and New Years was pretty uneventful. The kids and I hung out around the house and played games, watched movies, read books, and just enjoyed not having to do the running around which has since become our life!

We were all looking forward to New Years, because my mom was coming! Wahoo! We were so excited! And then Sam got sick. She was sick for about a day and then it went away. Well Sunday almost right after church I started to feel not so great. I wasn't sure what was wrong, but I just didn't feel good at all. I knew that if my mom knew I was sick she would go home and I did not want that! We had waited all week for her to come and I wasn't going to let myself get sick. That is until about 4 am on Monday morning. It was really weird. I was sick for about six or seven hours and as soon as I got it all out of my system I was still a little queasy, but I felt better than I had. I was so glad that it passed so quickly. 

Monday, Vaughn woke up not feeling well. He had to call into work and his his day, but he did not even move during the day. He obviously got it a lot worse than I did. My mom planned on going home New Years Eve, so that she wouldn't get sick and I was selfish and talked her into staying. Since I was feeling better I was ready to go have fun and enjoy the New Year. 

She ended up staying and on Monday night we went to my Aunt Ilene's house to play games with her, my grandma, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Garth, Cindy, Carolyn, Ben and Nathan. We had so much fun and decided to celebrate the new at 10 pm since everyone was tired and I was feeling guilty that Vaughn was home alone on New Years. 

New Years day my mom came out of her room and said she was sick. I was so mad at myself that I had insisted that she stay longer with us. She probably wouldn't have been sick if I hadn't been selfish and just let her go. She left early that morning and made it home and spent the rest of the day in her bed. We were happy she was here, but not so happy that she picked up our germs.

Anyway, a week before Christmas or so, Vaughn and I were watching the food network and saw this recipe for a burger that looked so delicious! We decided to try and make it while my mom was here and it turned out sooo good! It tasted like a burger you could get at a fancy restaurant! Yum, Yum, Yum!!  Vaughn was in charge of it and he did a great job!!

This was a cajun pulled pork and coleslaw burger. 

It was soooo good!!!
