Whenever anyone asks my daughter what she got for Christmas, she responds with “presents.” She is so happy with her stuff and is just excited to open the gifts, it didn’t matter what was inside. She was just adorable opening her gifts from the family and from Santa. She loves playing with her new toys and looks adorable in her new outfits.
We had a good time. On Christmas Eve, after making my husband’s Grandfathers 100+ family recipe for butter horns, I went over early to help Granny finish prepping for the party. Jade and Jeremy joined me when Jade woke up from her nap. We had a yummy meal and a nice time talking with everyone, and Jade went crazy opening presents.
On Christmas morning, Jade woke up at 3 a.m., and didn’t fall back asleep until 4:30 a.m., only to wake up again at 7 a.m. So, we opened presents and then headed over to my Sister-in-law’s house to open presents with my husband’s family. Jade again loved opening presents, but wanted to play with toys that weren’t her own more than anything over there. We spent the rest of the day playing with the new toys (while I packed) and flew out to see my family that night.
Jade travels well, so that was good.
We celebrated Christmas with my Mom, Dad, and sister and family the next day, complete with a big turkey dinner and more presents. The following day was my sister’s birthday. It snowed, ruining her big plans, but we still had a nice time spending the day with everyone. And, because they won’t be able to fly down in 2 weeks for Jade’s birthday, they threw a party for Jade the following day. So, we were there 3 days and we had 3 parties.
Finally home and things are not normal at all. I have to get in gear with getting Jade’s party ready. Plus, we’re having company over for a bowl party on Monday.
And, to make matters worse, Jade starts school on Tuesday. I AM SO NOT READY FOR THAT! I know she is, but I’m not.
Well, I am making 3 dips and cooking the veggies so the kids can eat them for the Early-bird’s party at a friend’s house tonight, so can’t write any more. Next couple posts will be about Jade’s birthday.
