I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday, whatever you chose to do this day. I thought I would share what my children woke up to this morning! My son was not too impressed as we had to drag him out of bed, but my daughter couldn't wait to tear into things! There are still presents unopened as the gifts from my husbands parents are waiting until his mom arrives on Sunday. Funny thing is, she doesn't know what they are since she just sends me money and I buy the gifts, wrap them, and put them under the tree! My father in law cannot come as he has just come down with pneumonia and also has some kind of parasite.
Santa was pretty good to the kids this year. You know, when I was a kid I would come out to see the tree and the presents would be so numerous that it was spilling out of the room. My mom was a single parent raising three kids and I have NO IDEA how she always made that happen. Not complaining, just realizing how much my mom had to do every year to provide that for us. I had a lot to wrap last night and then of course had to set everything up, fill the stockings, eat the cookies (Sully ate the reaindeer carrots) write the note from Santa in different handwriting. Finally got to sleep at 3:30am. Evie woke us at 8:30am. It was a pretty easy day. Opened gifts, threw the ham in the oven and my sister and dad were bringing side dishes. Unfortunately they both decided to make scalloped potatoes. What are the odds? LOL, so we had lots of potatoes. Opened a jar of applesauce, made some crescent rolls and that was it. Easy peasy rice and cheesey!
My sister brought her dog with her, THAT was funny. Having 5 dogs trying to play in a house that's 1000 sq feet with 6 adults, 2 kids and a pile of presents, LOL
Enjoyed the day, looking forward to hopefully sleeping in tomorrow.
Oh the one thing that stinks is I bought hubby a blue ray DVD player AND I even remembered to buy a fancy schmancy HDMI cable only to find our HD TV is not HDMI compatible.
So now hubby wants a new TV LOL
