Christmas was kind of strange for my family.
I was up almost all night because kids had me up all of the prior 3 nights. So I worked on some projects. husband and I had presents wrapped by 10pm on the 24th!!!!! We are never done before 3 am!!!!
I fell asleep about 6 am and they let me sleep until 10!!! We opened our gifts and they were very much appreciated.
Then a short nap for me, and we got ready to go to my parents. Got there a little late because we had a LOT of snow. Luckily we can go around behind out house, because the regular way off our street is up a hill that no one can get up.
Got to my parents and husband let us out close to the house and went to park down the drive. It was very snowy and thank you was waiting to try to help me in case I fell.
I did. Bad. I got up and tried walking up the slope of the driveway again. Then thank you fell. He knocked the wind out of himself and his lungs HURT. husband put the car in park, set the brake and rushed him inside (with asthma we were afraid it might mean an ER trip if it wasn't under control ASAP.) He did settle down in a few minutes.
Wiz had come out and he helped me up and into the house. I didn't even say Hi! I just went to my parent's bath and mom got me some clothes and put mine in the dryer. I was a MESS.
The one thing I DID notice when I first got in was my bro's EX sitting there. Apparently she is now spending holidays with us again. I don't get it. I really don't. I don't like her or trust her. We were all nice to each other all day though.
I even gave her a gift. A nice one.
We munched, kids played. Finally my bro showed up with his daughter and we were able to get things moving. We got nice gifts, oohed and aaahed over the kids' gifts, and enjoyed each other as much as we could.
husband got the FUNNIEST gift from my parents!!!!!
He got a Littermaid!! One of those self cleaning electric litter boxes for cats!!!!
When he opened it thank you yelled out "YES!" and pumped his arm in the air!! husband gripes about the litterbox but thank you is the one that cleans it, so it was funny!!
Lots of nice gifts, we made it home safe with most of them, and so we all crashed for naps.
I hope you all had Merry Christmasses!
