Well, I'm just getting on here.. DS9 had us up at 8:30am... however he was up staring at the gifts and watching TV at 5am! SERIOUSLY!! LOL

We've opened gifts... the kids are playing Wii.. I'm frustrated because I was watching a movie and went to the bathroom and they took over.. NOT happy..but no reason to make a big deal of it...but it does bother me...

So now I'm doing.. LAUNDRY! Yup, even on Christmas Day I don't get the day off.. DD is in her room chillin'... and the boys are in the midst of a Wii tournament..

No plans for tomorrow other than to hit the grocery...

Hope everyone has/is having a wonderful day!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Doin' the here too.
Got home about an hour ago.
Fixed nachos for just me. Nobody else's fingers in my food.
Threw in a load of laundry.
Vacuumed up the dog hair in the family room.
Reading through the codes & rates section, hoping for something in August.
Will unload the car later.
Finish cruising through the DIS and then off to do more work.

I got home from midnight mass at 12:30 am, saw that Santa had been to our house already.

DH and I woke around 7:30 am, DD didn't get up until 10:00 am. She is fighting off a fever so we let her sleep in. Family arrived around that time for Christmas breakfast and presents. My livingroom looks like a tornado hit it.

This afternoon we went to my brother's and SIL's for fondue. Yum

Now we are all settled down for a long winters nap watching Home Alone.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Princess had a rough night's sleep Christmas Eve. Mom comes over and commandeers her bed, so we put the couch cushions on the floor in our room and she sleeps. Rather, she kept getting up and saying "my arm hurts," "I'm so anxious, I feel like I'm going to throw up," "what time are we getting up?" It was a long long night. We finally put her out of her misery around 5:45 and got up.

We opened our gifts, DH made breakfast, mom left, I went back to bed, and Princess watched a movie.

Up and out again by 11:15 to the IL's for "dinner" (at high noon) and more presents. Home again around 3:00 to hang a little. Played Toy Story Mania for a bit. Went to my sister's for dessert (I made Pam's num yummy baked brie there) and more presents (for Princess, we don't exchange as adults). Home around 8:30 and we were all crashed by 9:15. Long long day.

I hope everyone had a wonderful wonderful Christmas Day!
