We are having freezing rain here today, so it’s looking less and less likely that we will make it to Christmas Eve at my mom’s house today. She lives in a rural area about an hour north of here, and it’s probably not safe to drive up there and back in this weather. Dd1 is soooo bummed out.

Ladies!!! ntintera is having a boy in April!! 😍 Who is ntintera? Is that a new user name for someone? Whoops! Had to go to the old place to remind myself of her SN. Our resident Dr, nikiswimr. I used the wrong SN!

Dd1 just now: I think it’s going to rain.
Me: It is raining. It’s called freezing rain - it turns to ice when it lands
Dd1: WHAT?? Turns to ice?? IT’S MAGICAL???!

My kids are insane today. They were hyped before I took them to my mom's. And then my mom fed them a bunch of sweets. We're home now and M is singing at the top of her lungs and dancing all over the living room, and S is just running around like a crazy person. H is going to give them baths in a few minutes, while I fold a load of laundry.

Merry Christmas!
It’s 7 am. We’ve opened stockings and Santa toys - dd1 is on round 2 of crying because dd2 TOUCHED HER STUFF. The audacity!
Of course she’s touching all of dd2’s stuff, too.
As soon as my coffee’s done we move on to the rest of the pile.
Hope your days are merry and bright. Love you ladies and am so thankful to have you in my life. 💕

We finished round 3 of opening presents. Now we're all relaxing, waiting for dinner and BIL to arrive so we can do the 4th and final round. Busy day. M napped for about half an hour at the in-law's. She's losing her shit at the moment. S and my sister are making gingerbread houses.

We survived 3 days of Christmas and no one melted down. Dh threw a hissy fit last night, best explained another time, but he recovered before midnight so I’m happy. I’m exhausted and bracing myself for dealing with Christmas mess tomorrow.

Christmas was great! Dd has inexplicably slept in until after 7am both yesterday and today. A Christmas miracle!? I got up early to pull the cinnamon rolls out of the fridge to rise and preheat the oven then back to bed. Got back up at 6:30 to make coffee, prep the glaze and relax before the insanity. It was glorious.
Both kids were adorable. Dd didn’t quite know what was going on for awhile. DS was so gracious and thankful for all of his gifts. It was heartwarming. Dd is in love with kitties and Santa brought her a Little Live Pets Kitty and she adores it. It is pretty freaking cute. We hung out in our pjs all day. I made dinner and we ate while we watched the Steelers win. After the game we went for a walk with the dog to the park and then home for a hot bath. Both the kids LOVE their PBK robes I got them.
Merry Christmas ladies!! I adore you all and I too am so grateful for all of you! 😍

We usually always head up north to my parents cabin to play in the snow and spend New Years up there. But there is no snow!! Like zero! Zilch! This is unheard of. We have had hardly any precipitation since August. It’s horrible. We would have to go as far north as Salt Lake City or Denver to get to snow. I am super sad about that. 😪

scorpioscuba come here we have all your snow. Joking aside the weather is ficked. But it's Christmas so i won't go down that rabbit hole. We had a great day with a few poor sleep/cold induced melt downs that quickly subsided. It was a good time spent with family. Sister, her SIL and I made a date to let our dogs play at the barn and drink wine so that's fun. The babes had a great time playing. Holiday win! Wishing you all a Restful day after. 😘

Looong day. So fun. But soooo long. We got home and put the kids straight to bed 15 minutes ago. It's 10 after 10. S was up at 6:25, and we sent him back to bed for another 20 minutes. We got so spoiled. We have a lot of organizing to do. Tomorrow. H and I are watching a couple of shows, and then we're heading to bed. Hopefully, the kids sleep in a bit tomorrow.

Hello All. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We had 3 days of craziness. Saturday was DD2’s birthday and we had her party at the local rec center pool. Everyone had soo much fun. While there bil and sil decided that that evening we were all getting together for their Christmas. They didn’t care that I have been working soo hard to separate bday and Christmas. The kids got soo much from Mil and Fil and they had a blast. Christmas Eve was getting the last few presents and then doing Christmas presents with my parents. They surprised us. They always go the cheap route and get us a small gift card here and there but they got us big gift cards this year. We got them a few smaller gifts. While it probably added up to the same amount I still feel bad. Then Christmas Eve church where DD1 carried the Christ candle in (very impromptu). Then Christmas Day with just us in the morning and then over to my Grandmas for lunch and presents. H and I have been up past 2 the last few nights with either wrapping or cleaning. Both kids have slept in till close to 8 the last few days. It’s been nice. scorpioscuba Denver and surrounding hasn’t had much snow at all this year which is very weird. I think we are close to maybe 4” total since October. nellieoleson she was probably looking through her cabinets looking for something. That is totally H for me. I will plan what we are taking, how long ahead I need to start it, how to take it, how long to get everyone ready, and travel time. H waits till 15 minutes before we leave to take a shower and shave. We are always late. Most of my family and friends know and expect us to be late if he’s home. They know if it’s me, I’m pretty close to on time. I hate being that family that’s always late but nothing I do has worked the last 15+ years to push him to be on time. kcrkcs I’m sorry. That’s soo hard.

Happy New Year’s eve, friends! Anyone going out tonight? Any fun plans?
Same old same old around here, but I may try to stay awake until 11, and maybe we’ll have some extra snacks. Party animals!
Been so quiet here this week. I know we’ve had some birthdays! Hope everyone is have a good last week of 2017.
