christmas review

i'm glad that it is over!! now all i have left to do is, get all the toys out of packages, throw out the trash and do the dishes from last nights dinner! its a little overwhelming but ill get it done!
okay these are the events that happened over the last couple of days!

23rd - after going out to bestbuy and that fiasco of losing my phone, i helped drew with some of the computer stuff and then wrapped presents until about 2am. well, right when i hit the pillow alex woke up screaming and crying. i picked him up and he felt SUPER hot! so i gave him some tylenol and tried to get him to take a bottle. he didnt want it. so i laid down with him on the couch and scratched his back, rubbed his lil shoulders..just trying to make him feel okay. well he was tossing and turning and finally settled on lying on his belly. well....that must of been the point in time where whatever was causing him to feel good was going to come up and onto me. he threw up EVERYWHERE! in my hair, my clothes, the couch, him, the floor. it was everywhere. nastiest smell ever. i would take a hundred of his poopy diapers ANY day over that smell. i almost threw up myself. it was nasty! so after that i finally got him to go to sleep after a long time! he woke up again at like 545am so i didnt get much sleep that night!

24th (christmas eve!) - got up, started laundry. got the kids and the dog to venture to the store. to get things to make my devilled eggs! for some reason everyone loves my devilled eggs. i don't put anything special in em or do anything different! i just dont put mustard in it. just mayo, salt and pepper. thats it. with paprika sprinkled on top! anyway! 3 oclock rolled around and i had to head out to the father in laws house! we ate there and then had to leave to be at my mother in laws house by 6 so we didn't get to open presents with them till later on in the evening.

at noras we did the eating thing and the opening of gifts thing...just like every year! it was a good turn out! i got pj's fuzzy socks, candle, money, movie tickets, christmas decor, i think that was it over there! anyway! after we left nora's we were going to stay the night over at my father in laws so i got things read for staying the night. drew invited our friends jennie and vince to come hang out with us over there. we had intentions of drinking but we didn't. lol. i had a drink sitting there not get drank...thats sad! anyway at midnight we opened our presents. i got a scarf, hat and gloves. drew got cologne, a nautica pj set and candy. anabelle and alex got spoiled!! (speaking of which ashley still has presents to open from them). lol! so after hanging out for a while we decided we wanted to sleep in our own beds. so we came home! got to bed late AGAIN and alex WOKE UP AGAIN!! ugh!! i needed sleep BADLY for christmas day. i had a ton of things to do!!

25th (christmas) - WOKE up and the first thing i start doing is CLEANING! oh i cleaned my house from top to bottom. it took me alllllll day. my lower back is just killing me! after cleaning i make the potatoes and my nephews showed up early! and then after that everyone started showing up! it was my mom, dad, brother, his girlfriend and her 3 kids, my sister, her husband and my 2 nephews, drew, the kids and i. so it was a house full but FUN! it was a great turn out. i was very pleased! anabelle, alex and ash were all spoiled!! its great! but where are all of these toys gonna go?!?! i got a gc to target!! a purse, scarf and hat set, a shirt from aeropastle (sp) and this AWESOME AWESOME collage of pictures. my sister made it for me. its of her and i growing up. i cried! it really touched my heart! i will take a picture of it and post as soon as i can!
it was just a great time! just really nice to have the family together! it wasn't all of the family but it was still nice!

well that was my long long story of christmas eve/day! now all i have left is getting things organized and cleaned and then SHOPPING!!!

BRING ON THE NEW YEAR!!!
