Oh, my, but time flies!! I'm so glad it's over!! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE Christmas, but it just gets so hectic that it's really nice when it's back to normal:) Tomorrow, the kids are back to school and I'm off work, so I'm hoping to get some things done. I am not feeling well yet, so we'll see if I get anything done. Oh, well - C' est la vie:)
Anyway, our holidays were wonderful:) I guess they're not quite done yet as we haven't celebrated with most of my side of the family yet, but it was still good:) On Christmas Eve, I had to work until 5:45, so when I got done, I met Jason and the kids at his grandma's. They were all waiting for me - the kids were told they couldn't open presents until I got there, so they were watching for me:) I definitely felt the love:) Anyway, all the boys got remote controlled trucks from Uncle Cook & Aunt Karen so they were racing around the house:) Lexie got a gift card for Claire's which we had a ball spending on the clearance rack on Tuesday:) They also got some fleece pj pants which they couldn't wait to put on (Lexie had to be told she couldn't wear them to Christmas Mass).
On Christmas morning, Lexie woke us up at 7:50 a.m. to tell us Santa had been here:) (We are lucky as my siblings & I always tried to get our parents up at 5 or 6 a.m. - they always made us wait until 7). Opening presents didn't take too long as their stack wasn't quite as big this year on account of their new DSi XLs(thanks to Kmart layaway!) which were the hit of the day:) Those were from Jason & I so we made them wait to open them:) Brett gave me a big hug and told me I was the best mom in the world and Lexie said she was the happiest girl on earth:) It made it all worth it:)
Next we headed to Grandma Wanda's where we opened more presents and then to Auntie Sallie's for breakfast and more presents. Then we went home for a little while to let the kids enjoy their toys and rest before heading back to Wanda's for dinner. Jason took a little nap:) Brett hit the jackpot with Legos:)
On Sunday, I had to work until 5:30, so we didn't do much. On Monday, the kids and I headed to Rapid River to my mom & dad's for our Christmas.
We still need to exchange gifts with my siblings' children sometime this month, depending when my nephews are home. I can't wait to see them:) I wanted to head there one day this past week and suprise them, but I've been sick since Tuesday:(
Oh, Brett & Lexie both got small MP3 players so I get to listen to their fabulous singing:) Lexie is singing right now:)
For New Year's Eve, we were going to our friends', Chrysta & Phil's, but they ended up with the flu, so we ended up having Charlie, Theresa, and Morgan over to our house:) We watched Vampires Suck which was pretty dumb:(
Alright, I think you are all caught up:) Oh, except that from my in-laws and my parents, I got $$ for a kitchen table:) I spent about 3 hours online Tuesday (dial-up), but I finally got one ordered:) It will be in between Tuesday & Thursday:) I can't wait!!!Thanks a bunch, guys:)
Ok, I really hope your holidays were fabulous and your New Year is the best ever!!! Peace!!!
