We had a great Christmas Eve.. We played games with
Skie for most of the day then
Skie made gorilla bread and hot chocolate and we watched The Polar Express before bed.. It was so much better than last year.. We did the same thing last year, but this year Clay is home!
Skie is a lucky girl.. She is the only child I know who can go right to sleep on Christmas eve, and not wake up until her alarm goes of in the morning.. Of course she set her alarm for 6:00 this morning.. I can't complain though, she had the coffee all ready..
We got some pretty good loot too!
Skie got a bunch of stuff.. A gift card from Tom & Ami, money from grandma, Frank & Donna, and Suzanne.. A purse, make up, lotion, and chocolate chap stick from Elaine, nail stuff from Charles and Judy, 2 awesome pairs of punk jeans and a black shirt from Pop &
Mema, a monkey from Steve and DJ and , a
Skelamonkey, a
Wii, and 14
Wii games from Clay and I.. So right now she is laying on the floor impatiently waiting for Clay to hook up her
Wii..
Clay made out pretty well too.. Elaine got him a new shirt, slippers, and cologne.. He got a sears gift card and red pepper jerky from his parents.. Pajama pants, slippers, a hat, and AXE stuff from
Skie.. And a couple knives and a stereo for his truck from me..
I didn't do so bad myself.. I got a digital camera from Clay (
yay!) a rice cooker, slippers, and make up brushes from Elaine, from
Skie I got yarn (
yay!), writing stuff (
yay yay!) and a
quesidilla (sp) maker, and 6 bowls from Tom &
Delpha to go with my rapidly growing set of handmade dishes (awesome!)..
Later~
We are officially snowed in.. We had 2 more feet of snow against the door when Clay went to take the Christmas trash outside, and it's still coming down.. Elaine was going to come over and pick up Trevor's guitar (he got an amp for Christmas and is dying to try it out) but she stepped outside and changed her mind..
But it's all good.. I have a chicken pot pie in the oven,
Skie is still playing
Wii (not sure I will be watching TV in the living room today) we have lots of coffee, the
lasagna is ready to go in the oven for dinner, I have a TV in the bedroom and Clay is home! Who could ask for more?
Have a Merry Christmas everyone!!
