At work this morning. I stayed up late wrapping presents, baking bread and watching Love Actually. I tried to buy the Muppets Christmas Carol yesterday, but couldn't find it anywhere.
I hope I can get out of here at a decent time today. DH wants to bring V back up here for the Christmas Eve party, but we'll see how things work out.
DS decided to sleep in, which I guess is unsurprising since he was up more than usual last night. I'll take the slow morning!
We're headed to my ILs to do lunch and open presents! I love watching our nephews open gifts, and I'm excited to see DS watch them. I imagine he'll be much more entertained watching them than opening his presents.
On the couch as the baby naps in the PnP. Inlaws coming over for lunch later. They're so weird, like would rather stand around awkwardly than sit down. Guaranteed we'll spend an extended period of time in the kitchen talking instead of in the living room with the comfy seats. It's amazing my husband isn't weirder than he is...
danitaec sometimes when I read all the stories about everybody's parents and IL's I wonder how we all turned out so normal. I realize "normal" is a relative term
Very, very little going on here today. I finished wrapping last night and will do a bit of last minute food prep for our guests tonight this afternoon.
Incase I'm not on the next couple of days, Merry Christmas everyone! For those who don't celebrate, enjoy your time off however you chose to spend it, and I hope everyone is able to take time with their families and LO.
And life with fil is interesting yet again. It has been pretty good but today his $glittering personality$ (note the $ stands for sarcasm font) shines through. I have actually been playing peace keeper a bit, which is surprising. I am usually too fed up with his petty crap to care about his mood.
I worked today. Got home and starting gathering things we needed to head over to the cousin's for my mom's side christmas. DD1 pukes. Okay, maybe it's excitement. She'll calm down and be okay. Nope pukes again. Then husbands starts have bathroom issues. So here we are at home on a holiday with puke and diarrhea yay. I didn't want to go to the party and spread the germs (my cousin's son is getting cochlear implant surgery this week). DD1 wanted to go to bed early (she's like the most mature 3 year old ever) so she's sleeping already. I'm afraid it might be a rough night. And poor Annie's not getting a fun 1st christmas.
Now I just hope I don't get it tomorrow bc I'm cooking/hosting my immediate family...
It got me. My H and I were alternating bathroom use all.night.long. I'm dehydrated and ache all over. Ugh, there's no way I'm hosting today. Anna seems okay so far.
Waiting to call my parents for Christmas. My mom is being gracious and inviting my dad over for a Skype chat before church since in 10 months my dad has not figured out Skype and has not chatted with DS (have not had him out as I can stand my dad for an hour tops).

Merry Christmas, ladies. I hope you all have wonderful days, whether you celebrate or just enjoy some time off. And for anyone who is working, thanks for keeping things running, and I hope you get time off soon.

Merry Christmas, mommas! We have had a wonderful Christmas so far. DH gave me the most thoughtful "mommy survival kit" with chickfila gift card, leggings, nail polish, bath bomb, popcorn, puzzle book, and a massage certificate. He even let Sawyer pick out the leggings and nail polish by holding up a couple options and letting him grab the one he wanted. I may have cried while opening it and he was telling me this.
V is currently playing with presents while we wait for DH to get home from work. He woke up early and had a ten minute nap, so I'm sure we are in for an awesome afternoon visiting family. But then again car naps may help.
My wonderful husband ran out to Walgreens to get tums, powerade, and sprite. It's really helping to settle my stomach. I haven't thrown up in a while so I think I'm on the mend! This still sucks. But the girls enjoyed gifts this morning still so thumbs up.

Checking in to say Merry Christmas ladies! Hope those of you that celebrate have had a good day.
DS is running a fever and has only napped in 15 minute increments. He cried for over an hour because he was so tired and just wouldn't fall asleep. Not how I envisioned his first Christmas.
Merry Christmas ladies! Good to hear you're on the mend dreemkin!
We've had some great days with my parents. DD however has had a fever that been going back and forth for a few day so sleep has been crappy. Hopefully she's getting better now. Today is christmas celebration with DH's family and a sleepover with the cousins.
We took it easy this morning to let DS recuperate. I'm thankful DH has the day off to spend time with just the three of us, though we're doing more extended family time this evening.
