This week was a long week for me working, so there wasn't a whole lot that went on. Jonathan went out to Celina for his last time of the year and we hung out at home the rest of the time. Aunt Bev and Uncle Ron came to visit, which was a lot of fun since we rarely get to just sit and chat with them. The Haas family came to visit too since they hadn't seen our tree yet. I wrapped presents on the 19th...tried to convince Jonathan to open them right then and there, but he said no, so we waited.
It was my weekend to work and it wasn't super busy, so I got a lot done at work while Jonathan wrapped gifts, finished shopping for me and played some video games with the guys. Saturday night we made cutout and snicker doodle dough, prepped taco dip and jello for my work party and were thoroughly exhausted by bedtime! Sunday was a blast - Amy and I surprised our work crew with an evening out together. They had no idea what we were doing, simply that they needed to wear comfy clothes and that there would be food. Everyone met at 6 when we closed and then we all piled into cars and headed to Alliance to do an escape room, eat pizza and exchange gifts. It was a blast and we all enjoyed spending time together outside of work!

December 23-29
We spent Christmas Eve with the Landis family. It was a great day exchanging gifts, playing games and going to the Christmas eve service at their church! Christmas day we spent the morning here (pictures included below), woke up and opened presents, went on a walk, had breakfast burritos then went to the Haas farm to exchange gifts, play games and eat lunch. The evening was spent with the Dickerhoof side of the family - which is always a little wild with all the kids, but always enjoyable because we actually get to see everyone!
I worked Thursday, so Jonathan took care of the TV situation, he went on an adventure to go buy some skiis and weights, then went to the Landis' for dinner and basketball. Friday we went back to the Landis' again to exchange gifts with Dustin. We played a game, then went to the big family Christmas. It was so much fun! We got to see a lot of the cousins from out of town and I got to meet Kate - the only future family member I hadn't met yet! Both of us have been around for 5ish years, we just seem to have missed seeing each other!
Saturday was a pretty big day for us too. We went up to Canton so I could renew my CPR certification, which went pretty well and was a smooth process. After that we went to meet the Framily for Whirleyball. We had never played but it was a TON of fun! It was great to spend time with the fram, play a fun game and win a little! The teams were split up a lot of different ways and it was fun to play with everyone a little bit. After playing, we went to the Winking Lizard for dinner and then went to Mom and Dad's to watch a little bit of the OSU game. Sunday was a nice day at home. We went to church, cleaned up gifts, wrapped up in blankets because our heat was broken, then went to the youth group Christmas party. It was a great chance to re-charge after a packed-full crazy fun week!
Last week I was back to work, which I was not excited about...but getting back was really nice. I loved getting back into the groove of work. Monday we broke a record with our script count, so that was a little exhausting. Jonathan worked Monday too, then he watched a movie and did some recovering at home. Tuesday I worked again and Jonathan had a half day, then went to the Haas party for New Years Eve, I met him there after my shift. It was my mom's side of the family so it was nice to get some bonus time with everyone since we aren't always together a lot and we miss those people!
Wednesday was my birthday and I wanted to spend the day with my family. So we woke up, went to Mom and Dad's, then headed to Alliance for lunch. Don Panchos wasn't open (and that's where I really wanted to go), but we went to Chipotle instead then went to watch the new Jumanji. It was hysterical and we enjoyed the time together, then we went back to their house, played some games, ate dinner and retired early since everyone was tired.
Thursday was another day off for the two of us, so we cleaned up our Christmas stuff, went to get my driver's license approved, played some games and ate well. The weekend was pretty typical - I worked, Jonathan did some cleaning for me, finished a book, played some guitar and relaxed at home on Friday. Then Saturday he went to hang out with my family and get some stuff done. I put a roast in the crockpot and we had Philly Cheesesteak French Dip Sandwiches then played a game and watched some football. We finished Sunday off with some youth group and then really started back to normality on Monday.
We are so excited to see what 2020 holds! Hopefully you all feel the same way! We will do our best to keep you all updated with what is going on in our lives as the year goes on! There could be some pretty exciting stuff coming up...so hang on tight!
Love you all!
- Alli and Jonathan
