merry christmas the sequel

I'm finally getting around to editing this post from the day after Christmas festivities. After a quick blogging lesson the hubby posted these pics of his kids opening their stuff. The kids were picked up in the morning on the 26th and will be with us until next Friday! So far everyone is getting along pretty good. There hasn't been any black eyes or hair pulling. The kids are pretty well behaved too. ;)

Once again, we had a wonderful holiday. Next year will be even better. We'll have all the kids with us on Christmas morning. No running around having to pick up/drop off anyone and I'll have Christmas off next year. Woohoo!

merry christmas to all!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone!! We started our celebrating on Christmas Eve with dinner at Gawa's house (my mom's). The meat eaters had ham and the vegetarian had lasagna. We also had a yummy mocha cheesecake and the famous Oreo, er Hydrox pie. Again, I cheaped out and bought store brand cookies. This time I shopped at Von's instead of Stater's and got Hydrox.

We had a wonderful Christmas. Drew is already in his room messing with his new ipod and Kaelyn is playing her PSP. Me and the hubs are relaxing and watching a show about the technology of Christmas on the History channel. I have to go back to work tonight after a nice, long 12 day vacation so I'll be napping this afternoon. Bran & Hay come over tomorrow until they go back to school after Christmas vacation so we get to have Christmas again tomorrow!! Merry Christmas to all!!
