How was everyone's Christmas weekend?

Re: Good Morning!

  • We had a great weekend.  Christmas was awesome.  I was right, my present from Nick was a food processor.  We made some salsa with it yesterday.  So delicious!

  • I bought this bag on Etsy yesterday:

    I'm SO excited!  I've been eyeing it since October, and I had it on my Christmas list, but no one bought it for me, so I bought it for myself with some of my Christmas cash.

  • It's too early to be awake and functioning. I was a total beyotch when I left this morning. But I also won't deal with anyone's bs or threats in the morning. Errr, need more sleep. :)

  • We had an excellent Christmas, but I am SO worn out.  We hosted 3 different party/get-togethers in 2 days (1 Christmas Eve, 1 Christmas morning/early afternoon and 1 in the evening.) 

    Tennyson won't need another toy until he starts driving, he's so spoiled.  And his birthday is coming up in 3 weeks and everyone keeps asking me what to get him.  Diapers?  lol.  What does a 1 year old need when he has a lot of toys and clothes?  I guess books?

    Where does one donate toys when Toys for Tots is not around?  Or is it?

    Does he need shoes?  What about a sled?  We got one for our neighbors little girl and she loves it.  Obviously mom or dad have to pull her in it, but it's fun.

    My mom got him a sled for Christmas...it's so cute!   :)  And I told my older sister, my aunt, and 1 of my friends shoes. 

    And here are some photos from Christmas.

    I told another friend summer/water toys.  A wagon is a great idea, we need one of those.  His birthday theme is Chicago Bears. 

  • Does he have a lot of movies?  People could get him like...Find Nemo, Ratatullie, other classic Disney movies.....

    We don't have any kid movies yet.  Great idea!!!

  • Is it just us today?  Man I would love to have this week off!

  • I'm so glad the weekend is over.  2 days with MIL and 1 day with SIL and her kids, way too much for me.  Plus I had a headache most of yesterday, so that didn't help.

    K got some good gifts, and I'm looking forward to celebrating with my family this weekend.  

    Movies and books were definitely on K's list, as we don't have a lot of room for a bunch of toys.  H's family obviously didn't get that memo, but I think my family will do better.  

  • So everyone that we wanted to see at my cousin's wedding in Costa Rica isn't going.  Crying

    So now H doesn't want to go.

    And we can't decide where we want to go instead. 

  • I was so pregnant hormonal on Christmas eve day that it wasn't even funny :( I haven't had a day like that before during pregnancy, hopefully that will be my first and last. 

    I wish I was on vacation again this week.  I'm counting down the days til my maternity leave (less than 70!!!!).  Yeah!!!!

  • Sah-weet.  Just found out the IRS put our tax rebate check in the mail last week.  I wonder how long it normally takes to arrive?
