Christmas morning is always an eventful day. We wait until the kids wake up. This year they didn't wake up until 8:30. We decided a couple of years ago that Maisie and Parker would take turns opening their gifts. This way we all have to watch each other open their gifts and it takes a bit longer than just tearing into our gifts. They were very excited with what they got this year. Maisie got an Apples to Apples dice game, clothes, earrings, dork diaries book 1 and diary, ipad case, TV and tv stand, PJ's, rainbow loom. Parker got UNO dice game, marbles for his marble solitaire board game, three Ninja Turtle lego sets, lego play mat, 2 shirts, sticker book, Ninja Turtle underwear, ipad case, pj's, headphones, TMNT shredder, and a box of lego's. I got a set of cooking pans, and a nice tripod for my camera. Also, pj's and a Christmas outfit. Eric got a metal detector, a shirt, pj's and two investing books. We had a great time and everyone loved their gifts. It took us a while to get going with the day. Parker had to put together his lego's and we told him he couldn't take them to grandma's. We went and said hi to Sallie and Jerry before they headed up to Idaho to visit Ken's mom and sister. Then we got ready and headed over to my family's to spend the afternoon. We finally got their about 1:30. I love the holidays and just relaxing and spending time with family. Some of us girls did our nails with Kelsey's new shellac stuff. My mom cooked a great dinner. Turkey, salad, rolls, and pumpkin pie. After my parent's opened their gifts, we went over and visited with my grandma and grandpa Hendrickson and gave them their birthday calendar that I have gotten in the habit of making them for Christmas and they look forward to receiving it every year. They have a lot of birthdays to keep track of. I believe it is close to 130 and they still send birthday cards to everyone. It was great to visit with them. We didn't stay to long cause the kids were anxious to get home so they could play with their stuff.
I had off work from December 20th to January 1st. Eric was off from December 23rd to January 4th. It was great having all those days off for the holiday. One bad thing about it though, is we stay up way too late and sleep in way too late. It takes a lot of adjusting to get back on schedule.
