Day 310, December 25th

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Christmas Day has always been crazy in my family.  Those people who go to the movies, or take down the Christmas tree later in the day, I never understood those families.  We basically leave in the morning and don't come home until almost the next day!!

Ryan and I woke up, put on a fire and had our first Christmas of many more together.  We purchased our tv after Thanksgiving and that was our gift to each other, so we put a limit on Christmas this year, and I am proud to say, we stuck to it!!
After we opened presents, we got ready, Ann came over, and we all headed to my mom's house.  We had breakfast, chambord and champagne and opened presents, our usual Christmas tradition.  The only tradition missing was my Christmas nap!
Despite how tired I was, I could not fall asleep!! Disaapointing to say the least! I tried, and failed...oh well, everyone else will suffer listening to me complain all day!!
After my mom's house, we packed up our stuff and headed over to Merrilee and Patrick's for Christmas with my dad's family. 
We ate a wonderful meal, opened presents and had a jolly good time as usual.
We left that Christmas celebration, and as my first year not living with Mike and Mary, we decided to continue our Christmas tradition, so we headed over there to finish up the night. Always a wonderful time with my froomies, and the perfect close to a excellent Christmas Day.

It was a great Christmas!! I got a Cooking with Coolio Cookbook, a Dutch Oven, some Pinterest inspired gifts and so much more!!

  1. Maybe you couldn't sleep because you were trying to do so on all of those boxes and things... just a thought...
