Christmas Recap

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas this year. Ours was nuts as usual but not as bad as I expected it to be. I survived my in-laws house and the turkey ordeal, (probably because there was plenty of wine) but it was nice to catch up with my sister-in-laws. The kids got really nice gifts and we both got some good stuff too. Afterward we dropped off Jenna and still made it home early enough that the kids stayed awake in the van. Blake and I spent about 1 1/2 hours playing Santa and putting away all our Christmas loot.

The next day we opened presents and ran out the door to my parents house. The kids were very upset to leave as they just got presents that morning and the night before and didn't have a chance to play with them yet. So we ate breakfast there and opened more presents. We also stayed for dinner and came back home that night. Traditionally, we spend the night and go see a movie when the kids are asleep but this year nothing good was playing. So we came home and spent 4 HOURS organizing our house and gifts.

Boxing Day we got up at 6:00am to go to Old Navy and Future Shop which went pretty good. We were able to get some good deals and be on our way home in an hour. We all showered and went back to my parents house for dinner that day as friends join them every year on Boxing Day. We put the kids to bed and went out to see friends for the night. It was great to see them again!

We came home yesterday and caught up on laundry and dishes. Blake slept most of the day (he was majorly hungover lol) and he had to go into work last night. We put away the Christmas decorations and hit the sack super early.

I am thrilled to have 2009 Christmas over with and to start a fresh new year. It was great to spend the time with family and friends and see our children experience the magic of Christmas but its also great to get the stupid tree out of the living room and have our closet not barf out presents every time we open it!
