It's 2017! How did everyone's holidays go? What did you do for New Year's? Any big plans for this month? For 2017?
We had a good trip out to CA. I feel like visiting for Chanukah and Christmas was a little more stressful than our usual visits at Thanksgiving, but overall it was good.
First night of Chanukah with my family, and for the first year ever my sister and I were in charge of the latkes. Normally my mom and my aunt do them, but my mom had cut herself pretty badly on a can of tomatoes the day before, so we took over the task. All turned out well, and my aunt declared the torch officially passed.
Then we had a laid back Christmas day with the ILs. Christmas used to be a giant thing, with MIL's sister's whole family coming for a huge 30 person dinner. But apparently since we moved 2 years ago they've stopped doing that so it was just me, H, 2 SILs, MIL and FIL. We made cocktails and played CAH, which was lots of fun.
We also spent some time with my BFF, her husband and her 16 mo son; did an escape room with the ILs, went to Monterey with my parents.
We got back on the 30th, and had a nice NYE in the city. Unfortunately, I woke up with food poisoning on the 1st, and then that turned into a nasty cold, so I've basically just been sick since 2017 started. It can only go uphill from here, right?
