3 Cheers for the Holidays
and long vacations! The only good thing about working for the school is that I get the "extended" vacation from Dec 20th to Jan 7 *2 extra days added in*. The only thing that sucked was getting sick for the first 2 days! Which meant no shopping and no gift wrapping. We were busy the weekend before Christmas which left me with a small window of time to clean the house, finish shopping and wrap all the gifts!
Uncle Patrick came over to help by staying with the kiddies while I went to do last minute shopping (Thank goodness for Kohl's, Target, and Safeway!) The best thing was I arrived at every store before the bigger more frustrated crowds showed up. Then it was back home for some serious cleaning. The boys did their part in their playroom and bedroom, and the rest was up to me!
We were hosting Christmas Eve for my mom, brother and sister and their families so it was getting pretty stressful. Damoomoo did his magic in the kitchen cooking Mitsado, Salmon in 2 different recipes, and garlic mash potato, while I finished deep cleaning the bathrooms and bedrooms. Everyone was arriving and I was in my room wrapping all the gifts (including those from Santa) I finally got a gift for the damoomoo that was a total surprise so that was fun watching his reaction when he opened it--- the throwback Warrior warm-up jacket.
well christmas eve was perfect. family, food, and lots of smiling faces from all the kids. according to AJ it was "the best day ever!" Merry Christmas to all, and an abundant new year!
