jewels ha, small world! I'm from another part, but live in the first one you mentioned. Glad you found an easy recipe! lol that's funny! I don't know why I thought you lived in D.C. Maybe we can meet up one of these days when I'm down there! Multiple days with the inlaws is... not easy. We are driving back now. Tomorrow we are taking S to his first movie (coco) then Christmas with my friends. Should be a nice day!! ha well DC cuts right through town, so anywhere in CC can be like within a few miles of DC.

Pretty sure most of us used the jolly old man as a threat the last few days. Let's hope the kids are just over excited and after the holidays they will be little angels again.

We got home at 7, a little later than I expected. We did make it through apps, dinner, presents, and scratch off tickets, but no dessert. I have no good pictures from the evening or of the kids in their pajamas. Boo! They went down easily at 8. I prepped most of tomorrow's dinner and made a breakfast casserole. MH and I did a quick clean of the main floor, and got all of the presents out and under the tree. And now, I'm just sitting here in the light of the tree listening to a podcast. Merry Christmas, friends!

My kid wore mismatched PJs to bed. At least the bottoms were Christmas. Oops.

Mara was so excited to leave out cookies & milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.
Too cute.
I drank too much wine at my in laws’ house. I hope I’m not hungover tomorrow.

Actually if I’m hoping for things, I hope H doesn’t have a fever and my nephew feels better.

E has been up for the last hour whimpering of and on in his bed. I've give in 5 times. I'm not sure if he feels off somehow or if it is Christmas anticipation. Lucky for me I was up watching "the spirit of Christmas " on Netflix.
And I'm being called in again.
Eta we have puke. I hope that was a 1 time thing.

I got home from work, picked up my living room and kitchen. Filled stockings and pulled out the santa gifts. Then I prepped the hashbrown bake for tomorrow morning. We’re watching Christmas story and I’m going to bed in a minute. Yay Christmas Eve!

Good morning! And Merry Christmas!
S woke at 4:30. We’ve had a whirlwind week and are so out of routine. I hope she starts sleeping later once we are back home and back to our routine.
We hosted Christmas for my H’s family on Saturday evening. They left at 9 yesterday morning and we were on the road for my parents by noon. It’s a full house here as my aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins from Arizona are staying with my parents. But t looking forward to a few days of family togetherness!

Morning! Merry Christmas! C is up, but I don't think he's fully remembered that it's Christmas, which is shocking! Watching a video in our room. I'm hoping he'll just chill til Lue wakes up!

We went to my in-laws yesterday. We left at like 8:30 (got there at 3) and I could tell MIL was really upset everyone was leaving. I felt bad, but roads were awful and the kids were tired. Plus, C was sooooo excited to get home so he could put milk & cookies out and Santa could come!

Merry Christmas! Charlie's been up since 540, so it's status quo here til Josie wakes up and realizes that it's Christmas. We woke up to an inch or so of snow so it's making everything look extra festive. I hope E is okay, @sunny. Hope all the sick kids are feeling better today. Can't wait to hear how your mornings went.

I spent the day with my family at my brother's house. DH stayed home because they have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and he's long since stopped even trying to manage his allergies. I have feelings on that, but that's for another time... But the boys could NOT get enough of the animals, it was so cute. My sister and her fiance came, it was his first family event so it was kind of nice. My brother and his wife are always great and my parents were on good behavior. Anyhow the boys are overtired but happy, and DH allegedly did all the required assembly. So it's just putting bows on the presents and putting them under the tree. Thank goodness because I am tired!! I remember you saying before that Colin is over the moon when he sees dogs. You guys don't have any animals at home, right?

So last night, some time before 9, someone slit the back tires of a patient's truck in our parking lot. Today the patient's father or something spent the whole after noon getting the old tires off and replacing them. It was like 16 degrees today. How shitty of a thing to do to someone 2 days before Christmas that just had a baby. The guy came and asked me for patient relations number because he wants to complain that there aren't more lights in the parking lot. I'm not sure exactly what that would have helped except possibly discouraging someone from doing it. But since theirs was the only vehicle it happened to it seems like it was done to their vehicle on purpose and not some random attack. I would bet you're right.

inthekitty did the kidney stone pass? Hoping your xmas drama is kept to a minimum Unfortunately no. I came down to my parents solo since the kids had been down there since the weekend. His doctor said he can't travel until it passes. We had a nice Christmas Eve but then I couldn't drive home so we could be at our house Christmas morning because an ice storm hit Portland last night and the roads were shit. I'm trying to have a positive attitude but I'm bummed the kids didn't get to wake up to santa magic. We'll drive back home soon. Thanks for asking though. I've been feeling like absolute shit (my cold is a nightmare that won't give up and I keep losing my voice) and just not in a happy place so I've been staying away.
