Merry Christmas

Christmas came, and so did Santa.  Absolutely full of magic and memories for all of us.  The kids got what they wanted along with a ton of extra things, I was spoiled as always, and R was just as happy with his gifts.  Happy, healthy, grateful and spoiled.

The night prior, we had a 'wrapping party,' at the house.  We invited A, S and their kids over for good company and to help me catch up on some wrapping, while we drink.  That morning, I had to work.  It didn't bother me because before I left, I cleaned the kitchen, put away dishes, made Jello shots, made snacks for the kids and I took care of the dog!  Luckily, it was a half day, and I could still work from home.  

I think we had A. too many Jello shots, or B. they were more potent than I expected.  Either way, R and I were woken up before the sun somewhere around 6:30 AM.  It definitely made it interesting waking up, but it was still fun.  We got ourselves together and went to see what Santa left for the kiddos.  

Every year it never fails, I get lost in the magic especially the reactions of my children.  I love how they light up with every box unwrapped.  The sad part is watching them grow up so fast.  

For the remainder of the day, we all played with our new gifts and watched movies all day long.  It was perfect.  I didn't even bother cleaning till Saturday when I could really feel that Christmas was over.  By the 6th, we will have the decorations down and put back until next year.  Lather, rinse repeat.  I'd like to purchase more to decorate the house next year since Pinterest has really been addicting as of lately.  

I wish there were more to update, but in my opinion, this is a lot more than I expected.  It was a perfect Christmas with my sweet family and friends too.  I couldn't have asked for anything more.
