Christmas Eve and Christmas

27 Dec 09 - So I have been sick since Christmas Morning....Boooooo! I am just now feeling a little better 2 days later.

Early Christmas Eve Morning we opened our Secret Santa gifts. This is a new thing we started this year. Charlie got a new sippy cup and rubber ducky that tells if the water is too hot, from Kailah.
I made an apron for Kaijah.
Kairah got a picture frame that says "I have the best big sister ever" with a picture of her and Charlie in it, from Charlie. Kaijah decorated a journal for Kailah.
Kairah had her picture taken with Santa for Lew. And I got a nose ring from Lew (I guess he is giving me his blessing to get my nose pierced again...lol.


Christmas Eve Party was fun dispite all the challenges. I am glad I made as much food as I did or we probably would not have had much to eat. Good thing I love to cook. We had an ornament exchange for the adults and I found out my peeps are too nice to play dirty santa. I was the only person that stole an ornament. lol. The kids had a game exchange. That seemed to go over well. I think I might switch it up for the kids every year. It was a little tough with the kiddies because they could not go outside because of the rain. We also had to forgo the fire pit. The weather also made it impossible to go out Caroling and deliver bread to the gates, fire departments and police stations. We had three tornadoes in the area. Hopefully next year the weather will cooperate and we will have a better turn out.
Christmas lasted most of the day. The girls had to wait atleast 30 minutes to open a gift. After 30 minutes they were so busy enjoying the gift they just opened that they forgot about the others. So I would ask them about an hour later if they wanted to open a gift. Me and Lew felt sick all day, but we tried to be cheery. It was a success! The girls had a great time, even Charlie seemed to enjoy opening presents. We all went outside in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day.
