Friday, December 22: Gramma came to town and she and I shopped old town for the afternoon and then headed home to the girl and daddy. Then we had a surprise visit from hubby's brother and 3 year old nephew for some play time. (My sister in law had been mega shopping for 2 days straight and my brother in law couldn't take it anymore. But he brought us goodies so that was ok!)
Saturday, December 23: Kathykins, Maggie and Jeff (Godmother & Brood) came to town for a little Christmas Adam (that's what we call the day before Christmas Eve) cheer. My mom's homemade lasagne, nice salad, garlic bread, chocolate cake. Yummy goodness. We invited the 3 cousins over as well and they really seemed to enjoy themselves. Plus, we did a bit of early Christmas present opening.
Sunday, December 24th: KK & her hubby and mama came over with a wonderful roast and sides. We enjoyed a YUMMY dinner, more presents and dessert!
Monday, December 25th: Neither Gramma or I made it out of our PJs (even when we had to run to Exxon for batteries and milk). We opened gifts, watched the girl's amazement. She was MOST thrilled that Santa wrote her back. She left him a note asking why he only comes when she's asleep and he answered her! Imagine that. She, of course, got way too many presents. A new dollhouse, a dinosaur, a talking microscope, a new coat, new stuffed kitties, and on and on. Mama (that's me) got a LOVELY new jewelry box - very large to consolidate the 3 smaller ones I have things in now & with room to grow (Hint to daddy). Daddy got spoiled too ... lots of boy toys. Electronics, games, camping stuff, weird things that only boys enjoy. All in all Christmas day was the most relaxing of the whole weekend.
Today, Wednesday, December 27th: Daddy & I have a date night! Which will entail as little physical activity as possible!
Friday, December 29th: We are going for a nice dinner with our friends Dr. G (our pediatrician not to be confused with Dr. G of perinatology fame) & his lovely & also prego wife. She's due in May! Part of the baby boom!
Saturday, December 30th: Mama (again me) will be going over to a girlfriends for a Pink Elephant party. I am not 100% sure what that is ... but I am game!
Sunday, December 31st: We'll be spending New Years Eve with our friend P & B, Dr. G & his lovely prego wife, and the kids. The girls will be constructing gingerbread houses. I know that is more of a Christmas thing but they are 4 and don't care!
Then it will be JANUARY. And the final countdown can truly begin. I should stop complaining about being so darn tired as it is all my own doing. Here's hoping for only the best in the New Year!
