Hi everyone I haven't had much spare time the last few days.
Yesterday we went on a road trip to Bundaberg which is about 5 hours away. We left town at 5:30am and got back to town just after 7pm. Ds travelled really well which made life so much easier.

Good morning ladies! Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Hannakuh! (sp?) I am heading into work for an hour or two. Then the chaos begins for me. My family and MHs family are Italian. We celebrate Christmas on the eve. I have to go to my grandmothers first for dinner and gifts. Then I have to travel 45mins into NJ for dinner and gifts with MHs family. The crappy part is that we serve fish at Christmas Eve and I really don't eat fish. Booooo. The thing I will probably eat is pasta with clam sauce and lots of dessert.
Good morning! I'm feeling much better today thankfully. My mom came to wrap presents for me yesterday and dh cleaned the house for Christmas. I couldn't be happier for the help. Today will be busy once this afternoon rolls around. Merry Christmas, ladies! I hope Santa brings you everything you asked for!
Happy holidays! DH is dealing with M while I get dressed. Then in a bit MIL and I are going to get pedicures. I'll get my eyebrows done too, yay! All the immediate family is coming over here tonight and we will do dinner and some gifts. I'll light mine and M's menorahs tonight but we'll do real Hanukkah celebrations when we go to my family in a couple days. I'm glad they've decided to break up the gift opening this year. DH's family gifts hard and in the past it's been a several hour process Christmas morning. Then I think lots of extended family here for dinner tomorrow.
Oh, also, yesterday M got to decorate cookies with us and my MIL and she loved it so much. So cute! She discovered she could eat them instead of decorating too, lol.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I'm at work till 330. We won't make it in time to our church service so we're skipping out on it this year. Probably for the best since N has been a hot mess with her 2yr molars coming in and now she has a cough. Anyways, MH and I are having our own little quiet Christmas Eve dinner tonight just us and then having our own little quiet Christmas morning, then going to my brothers later tomorrow afternoon. I love Christmas this year!! Such minimal running around to a gazillion different places.

I think G has joined the 2 year molar club. She woke up screaming in the middle of the night last night. It took me going in there and calming her for her to stop. That NEVER happens. She is also chewing on all the things.
Hi Ladies! Spending Christmas with my soon-to-be ex and I can't wait to be back with my family tomorrow afternoon. It does not feel like Christmas. H's idea of a tree is a Charlie Brown tree (an actual Charlie Brown tree) even though there's a tree in the attic. He didn't plan anything for dinner tonight, so we are going to get Taco Bell. Hopefully they're open. Missing my family and my mom's baked ziti. Enjoy your day, ladies!
Hi ladies I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! I've been baking all day and later we'll go chill at my mom's house. I'm so excited for tomorrow morning! I can't wait for M to play with his new kitchen.

First Christmas was a success. We had so much fun. G was a bit overwhelmed but handled it like a champ. Now is the challenge. We have to go to his uncles house about an hour away. It's past her bedtime. They don't hand out presents until midnight. This should be interesting.

Presents at midnight?!
Yup! Santa comes (Aka my fil) and hands each kid a present. It's not Christmas until midnight therefor Santa doesn't come I'll midnight. 🙄 MHs family has been doing this since he was a kid so there is no avoiding it. It's literally the only huge argument we have ever gotten into.

Oh my! I hope G does well and it doesn't mess up her sleep too much!
We stayed at my Grandfather's longer than I planned so T went to bed an hour late. He did fine though. My Grandfather loves spending time with him so it's worth it.
W randomly started walking with a limp/only on her heel last night. She didn't cry at all and I don't see anything on it.
It's concerning me a bit
If it persists, get her checked out. Anything else? Fever?
No, no fever. She's been cranky which I attributed to 2 year old molars, but other than that she's her normal self. It's not swollen or anything and if she has shoes on she walks like normal.
It continued today, I'll watch tomorrow and make a call on monday if she's still doing it.
Thanks for the advice. I feel better when someone else (especially with a medical background) reaffirms my thoughts.

So far so good with G. She is playing with her cousins. Besides some eye rubbing, she is acting fine. An hour and a half left till presents. Then the hour drive home.
M is getting into bed now. A little late but she opened about half her gifts tonight and had a massive meltdown when she had to say goodnight to her new farm toy. I'm packing up most of it straight into boxes to be shipped to us. A percentage I will be returning immediately upon it arriving at our house. It is overwhelming.
