This Christmas was a "stay at home" Christmas and I'm afraid I took it way too much to heart. I don't think I left the house with the exceptions of two outings. Really. I read and puttered around the house and read some more. I managed to finish two books and get well into the third and if all goes as planned tonight, I may just make it all the way through book three and start into book FOUR!
I know, I know... get out of the house. Nope.. thanks, enjoying my time at home sleeping in and being a total bum!!
Oh, and we discovered, or should I say, rediscovered puzzles. Butch was even caught in the act. I think I'm the only one who didn't sit down and really work on the puzzle :)
Traditions carry on and each child gets to open ONE present on Christmas Eve. Angela got a neat air brush set from Grandma - she has had such fun with this!!
Liz chose to open one from her friend (yes, just friend; and no, not gay!) Alec
The tree after Santa came to visit
Angie was the first up... tried out her bike - varrroooom!!!
Liz loved the cute light up bag that grandma gave each of them!
Grandma got a nice new back scratcher... ah, nothing beats a good back scratch!!
The last few pics of Elizabet were of her trying to get her new ipod out of the box - it was taped into a shoe box with little jingle bells inside... then she finally got it untaped off the bottom to discover it was GREEN!!
Black Friday shopping WITH kids puts a damper on giving for Christmas, so Grandma wrapped the headphone box - to the headphones Angie has been using since she got them "early for Christmas" - hahaha - love it!
It's a Dr. Who Christmas at our house!
Playing push the dummy with Grandpa. My camera was horrible against the light - I hope someone shares their pictures with me so I can get a good one going. I'll try to photoshop these two - once I get photo shop loaded back on this computer!
How we REALLY spent our vacation :)
Pretty full moon right after Christmas!
