Looks like we made it!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Christmas was a lot of fun this year, and a lot of work. Christmas Eve we went to my brother-in-law's house for appetizers. While there, one of the little girl cousins smashed her finger in the door and practically chopped the tip off. Of course, it was MY daughter who accidentally shut the door. Now everyone has had a child hurt during the holidays except me, so I'm expecting it during the next get-together. She is fine now...they stitched it back on and it isn't broken; however, they are afraid her fingernail will not grow back. Then we came home and spread our reindeer food outside and made some cookies for Santa. Silly me thought that going to bed late would mean sleeping in late. HA! Riiiiiight.

Christmas Day was at my house, and started with my oldest getting up at 6:30 a.m. Since when does a teenager get up at 6:30??? I didn't take off my apron the entire day. My mother came over for a big breakfast, and then the entire family came over later for dinner. Thank goodness the trash man came today, because we had LOADS of boxes and wrap to turn in. My kids got pretty much everything they asked for. Santa didn't bring me anything because all I asked for was tuition money....my LAST semester!
