christmas celebrations have been going on for 6 weeks.
lets just say, this christmas season feels like eternity.
it's good, because i love this time of year, but i also
feel like i've been going and going and going.
my company has THREE different holidays parties.
the first for our trades, the second for our team and
the third for our department.
i also had our annual christmas breakfast with my besties.
it was switched to my house but ended
up being really low key and fun.
i'm so glad we do it.
any excuse to see my friends, is fine by me.
i drove to st. louis for a one-nighter to see my sorority sisters.
its been a long time and miss hanging out with them.
shan and i are the only ones in kc so they get together and
we miss out on a lot.
it's one of my resolutions to make the time more often.
my family had our famous christmas cookie day,
which technically is more of a christmas candy day
because everyone's cookies are already made.
since this holiday is with the in-laws, we went ahead
and did our christmas that night.
can i just say that reid is the best thing that's ever
happened to christmas.
she jumps around and is so excited over literally everything.
you could give her socks and she would be like,
oh my god, i got the cutest socks.
plus she's just super sweet and gave everyone hugs.
christmas day was very low key this year.
just ronnie and i with the girls.
my parent's were in texas with the turner side,
brian was with kristine's family
and my aunt's and grandma went to marceline.
ronnie's sister decided against celebrating this year and
we actually leave tomorrow to see his mom.
we're doing christmas with my parent's and brian on new year's day.
so like i said... christmas is lasting an eternity.
it was weird to be by ourselves on christmas.
it was ok, but not my favorite.
i can't wait for big family christmas next year.
just call me clark griswald.
i will say that we made the most of it.
we made sugar cookies with marra.
we went to see santa and visit the magic tree.
we also made it to christmas eve mass.
ronnie and i were up to 11 wrapping gifts and
the girls slept together in brette's room.
they were up at least three times and checking on noises.
it was very cute.
reid woke up at 4:15 (not kidding) but i threw her in bed
with ronnie and i went and slept with brette.
it worked because they both slept in until a little after 7.
a huge christmas morning win.
they had so much fun opening gifts.
santa brought them a barbie dream house and a kindle.
(which brette calls an ipad - i let her think that. lol)
they spent the day playing, watching christmas movies and eating
popcorn and hot chocolate.
i was pretty proud of myself for dinner.
since it was just us and lets be honest, the girls
eat less than a mouse, i went ahead and tried to make a better meal.
rotisserie chicken, twice baked potatoes, broccoli & cauliflower casserole with rolls.
i made a pie the day before, but i gave it to ronnie's sisters family.
we settled for christmas candy and left over sugar cookies we made for santa.
i hope you and yours had a very merry christmas too.
think of me in a week when i'm STILL celebrating.
