Where did the month go?

It seems like we just had Thanksgiving dinner and now Christmas has come and gone. This year I had to work Christmas Eve so that put a big damper on everything. We spent most of the day hanging around the house so I could nap. At 525pm I hoped my phone would ring telling me you can stay home we don't need you tonight. WRONG...my phone never rang so off to work I go. It was a long night. Which is good and bad. Not one baby born until 525am of course when it is time to finish up and leave in a couple of hours all these babies start popping out. I can home and the kids were still in bed. Yeah. M and I got the last little things together and then got the kids up. Can you believe we have to wake them up. M. was so excited he got an ipod. He has been begging for an ipod for months he saved his birthday money and has been bugging me to let him buy it. He even got a docking station to play it in. E. got a mini laptop. The look on her face was priceless. Of course with there bigger gifts it made the other gifts slim. But neither seemed to mind. They didn't want to put their santa gifts down to open their other gifts. After Big M. and I open our gifts (yes I did get my small pocket camera) and he got a blu ray DVD player. I layed down for a 30 minute nap before heading to Grammie's for breakfast.

I never should have laid down. I didn't want to get back up. Off to Grammie's we go for a great breakfast. Which just made me sleeper. The kids showed off their santa gifts with excitement. But couldn't wait to open their gifts. They racked up from Grammie and Great-Grammie. We hung out over there for a few hours which I mostly slept. I felt so bad for sleeping. We planned on doing family mini photo shoot but I was just to tired. Big M. thinks I forgot but I didn't. He just smirks when I bring it up.

Finally after a 3 hour nap back home we head to Nana's to finish out Christmas day. We had a big delicious dinner and then the kids tore into the gifts from Nana. It was so late and I was very tired by then we didn't stay long. This was a long day for everyone. I have made up for it the last 2 days. No one has gotten up til about 12pm each day. I am thankful everyday for my family.

We've been Elfed!

After many hours of wrapping presents I sure do feel like an elf. I had to join the bandwagon and share our elf dance. Big M. wasn't happy with our dance but the kids and I loved it :) Enjoy.
