Christmas 2011

Christmas morning didn't start out the way any of us had planned.  Morgan came running down the stairs at 3:30 am screaming "Momma".  Gracie was upstairs pucking (what a way to start Christmas morning).  I got up out of bed...still half asleep...went upstairs to find Gracie's supper in the bedroom floor.  I got it all cleaned up & all the girls were awake wanting to open Christmas gifts.  We went and woke Spencer  up...he was still sleepy & wanted to know what time it was...it was 3:45 in the morning.  He crawled out of bed & threw some clothes on.  They all settled in the living room to open presents.  The girls got I-pod touches & Spencer got a PS3.  They were all extremely happy with their presents.  Here are a few pictures.

Santa has been here....

While they were opening presents I started feeling sick.  About 5:00 am I had to go take some medicine and go to bed.  I stayed in the bed until it was time to get the kids ready to go home.  They all started leaving about 7:00.   I ended up back in the bed until 11 when it was time to go to Bobby's parents.  We got Bobby's nieces presents & the look/excitment was priceless.  They are all older & to see them that excited was great :)

When we got back home I called work to see if they were going to put anyone on call tonight.  Thank goodness they were because there would have been NO way I could have made it through the night.  I took another phenergan and headed back to bed. I ended up taking 3 phenergan & sleeping most of Christmas away, but the smiles on the kids faces when they opened their gifts from Santa were PRICELESS! 

I must have just had a 24 hour bug because I woke up this morning feeling much better :)

I hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
