We had an awesome Christmas Day! It started with waffles for breakfast. Later we had lots of yummy snacks and then dinner. We hosted and had family and friends over. It was a long day but a great day!!! We got some good gifts. My mom and ILs gave us cash, yay! SIL and BIL somehow knew the 2 items I specifically asked for but DH says he didn't tell her I wanted. A Mickey waffle iron and programmable crockpot. DH got me my ceramic pot I wanted that We bought while together and is taking me shopping for the rest of my gifts tomorrow. Since he can't lift he couldn't get them. He felt bad there wasn't any more gifts under the tree for me this morning. I honestly can say the gifts don't matter, the time with him, family and friends was all the gift I needed. Seeing our nieces smile and laugh and giggle and my mom actually enjoy her holiday was enough for me.

Christmas has been the best! Church last night, gifts with DH and C this morning, Turkey lunch and Christmas with ILs, and hanging out with DH and C the rest of the day! DH got me the best gift ever- a trip to TX to see my good friend (C will go too!)!! Watching a movie with DH and drinking some beer before bed!
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope y'all have had a blessed day!
Today was a long day but it was fun. DH got me a garmin vivosmart hr. I'm excited to use it. I got him some hunting/outdoorsy stuff.
We opened presents at my parents house, then went to me grandmas for breakfast. We can home and relaxed until we visited my other grandma in the afternoon and back to the first grandmas for dinner.
Yesterday was fun. We went to my mom's for breakfast. G was awesome the whole time. My mom kept making me giggle. She loves Christmas more than anyone I know. She always acts like a little kid come Christmas day.
Today we are going to the in-laws for our Christmas celebration. Looking forward to it for the most part. G has an awful diaper rash and is teething so all she wants to do so far today is cuddle with me. I love the extra cuddles, just hoping she is okay with all the people at MIL's house.

Yesterday was good, other than coming down with a cold. My parents were here and we did cinnamon rolls and fruit for breakfast, opened presents, and turkey & fixins for Christmas lunch. We even got a pre cooked turkey so we didn't have to cook much. In the afternoon my parents got a nap in while I cleaned up. My dad and H went to see Star Wars last night while my mom and I did some scrapbooking and baking. All in all, a good Christmas!
Our Christmas was lovely, but so busy! Christmas Eve with the ILs and Christmas Day with my family. Tonight we're going to H's grandparents' to see his cousins. Poor Milo was so overwhelmed and tired by the end of both days, but he had fun the rest of the time.
We stayed home and did nothing special, but it was a very relaxing and good day. We had roasted chicken for dinner and watched some Christmas movies =).

We had a really nice day! We did stockings and gifts with my parents in the morning then we watched Christmas Vacation. My brother, SIL and niece came over later for dinner. We told them I'm pregnant which was fun - SIL is pregnant with #2 so if all goes well, there will be cousins about 7 weeks apart!
It was a great day! Christmas morning at home and dinner/evening with lots of extended family at my aunt's house. And today is lovely because we are doing absolutely nothing.
We did a Christmas lunch with MIL and DH's Uncle on Christmas Eve. Christmas, more of DH's family came up. I got some scarves and gloves I'd been asking for:) DH got me a coach wristlet we picked out earlier this year:) L had her best day yet on Christmas
Ours was quiet, which was really nice. We didn't leave the house all day. We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, built a gingerbread house together, H took a long nap, and we spent the evening curled up on the couch watching movies. It was so relaxing.
We made the trek to the nearest KS store today (1.5 hours or so each way). I've never been in one of the actual stores so H let me wander around for a while before he exchanged my present for a bigger version of the one he picked out.
Now we're back home and curled up on the couch watching more movies.

It was good but busy. Christmas eve we went to my grandmas. After Cara went to bed, H and I exchanged gifts. It was nice having some time just the two of us.
Christmas day we had cinnamon rolls and opened presents with cara. After her first nap we went to my MILs house for presents and brunch.
Then came home for Cara to nap again. After that we went to my parents.
We came home with so much stuff for Cara, I am overwhelmed.
And we're not done yet. Today we went to my husband's aunt's and came home with another bag of toys. Tomorrow we are going to FILs!
I'm beyond the point of wishing it was over. It's exhausting.

Hey all! Sorry I've been MIA, just trying not to be a downer around here
Our Christmas was great minus the fact that we had to take my car instead of H's. H's car broke down Wed night when I went to get E from daycare so we were stranded until FIL came to tow us. It's the alternator so luckily nothing huge. H got the part and FIL should be coming up tomorrow to help fix it.
Anyways, Christmas Eve we went to H's aunt's. It was fun watching E and H's cousin's son play. They are about 6 weeks apart so I'm sure they will get in all sorts of trouble as they get older! We didn't get to my parents until about 11 and opened our PJs from them (tradition!). Got up around 8 to have Christmas morning there with my parents and sister. Then we went to my aunt and uncle's for brunch and more gifts. Then off to the ILs for dinner and even more gifts. The car was PACKED last night and we didn't even end up bringing everything back because it wouldn't all fit in my car! ILs got E a nice sled so we asked if they could bring it when FIL comes up tomorrow. Lastly we had E open a few gifts from us this morning. He is totally Christmas-ed out, lol.
H got Disney Infinity so we've been playing that off and on today while E played with some of his new toys. I'm oddly excited that I got a hand vacuum among other things yesterday, haha. Also a programmable Crock Pot! It was a good Christmas and I'm thankful I was able to have a 4 day weekend!
