I've been feeling a little sickly and trying to soak up those last moments with Andrew (he went back home yesterday) so I have not really had the motivation to do a whole lot of anything, much less sit down at the computer and type out a post.
So where were we...
Christmas Eve
We headed over to Grandma's house (Eddie's parents) to have "breakfast" and open presents with his parents and his brother.
I had a hard time calling it breakfast. It was a thrown together meal of Chick-fil-A nugget tray, fruit tray, donuts, muffins and cookies. Not really my idea of breakfast, but I can't really complain cause it edible and yummy. 
Everyone got a stocking full of stuff we will never use. I really think my MIL has stock in Bed, Bath & Beyond because every year we get every kind of little gadget they sell.
The Hubs got more movies to add to his already massive collection
The kids got new riding gear for their motorcycles. The original plan was to hang out and ride motorcycles all day, but the rain kinda changed those plans for us.
After playing at Grandma's for a while, we headed back to our house to wait on Gran and PePaw (my parents) to come over for dinner and more presents.
My mom made homemade vegetable soup and chili. Eddie said her chili rivaled mine (where do you think I learned to make chili). The soups were perfect for the cold and rainy night.

After dinner we opened presents. The kids were worn out at this point and got a little silly at times.
We got the moms a Pandora bracelet with a few charms this year for Christmas. We know we did good cause we made them cry.
Then it was making cookies and then off to bed.
The kids begged us to make them a fort out of blankets and let them sleep in the play room.
Christmas Day
We told the grandparents to be at the house at 8:00 thinking that the kids would be up early and ready to tear into their presents. When my parents arrived at 7:55, the kids were still asleep.
After the kids gained their wits and woke up (they are not morning people) we torn into the presents that Santa left. First, we did stockings though

Unfortunately, the girls had to leave at 2:00 to spend the rest of Christmas break with their dad. I was depressed for the rest of the day and refused to do anything. We were suposed to have a late lunch at my Granny's house but I didn't feel like going so we stayed at home and had chips and salsa instead. But my mom and brother got me out of the funk by taking me to see Les Miserable that night. I love the musical and the movie was great!
On the way home from the movies I picked up Christmas dinner for myself and the hubs
I am sad to say that this was my Christmas dinner.
