Merry Christmas!

How was your Christmas…

We had a wonderful Christmas…

Holly got her favorite food in the pouches…

We were even able to surprise son2 with a couple of things he didn’t know he was getting…

Son1 and DIL stopped by and opened all their groceries we got for them… they loved it all… they got us a gift card to the movies…

Even though I told hubby we weren’t going to shop for each other, we bought each other a couple of treats anyway… with Christmas decorations 50% off I got hubby this Woodstock sledding… I also got him a Snoopy to match which just came in the mail today, so he’ll get another surprise tomorrow after I wrap it…

We did get some really good sales this year…

Especially son2 who was able to shop for Christmas this year and did most of the shopping for Santa… he was so excited that he said giving was even better then getting… he got really good deals on Amazon during all the Black Friday sales…

And then he got carried away and spoiled me…

He was also sneaky… He got me all the Vampirates books I have been wanting since they came out in 2005… It’s a children’s series… He wrapped them so I opened the first novel and I thought “oh thank you I’ve been wanting to start this series”… and then a couple of gifts later going around the room and I opened the box with all of them…

Snowman boxes hubby got me at the grocery store for just 68cents each…

Again son2 tricked me with the open one book and then later the whole series of The Game of Thrones series… of course he wants to read these too…

Hubby and son2 each got me a rose mug…

Hubby got me new spoons/spatulas to replace our used up ones… and a new frying pan and sauce pan to replace my two favorite sized ones that I had to throw away recently as the Teflon was wearing off…

Son2 also tricked hubby and I with season 3 of Supernatural that we have not been able to find and then he got us season 4-7… of course another thing that he also will benefit from…

December Twenty Third

 

ChristmasSnowman4withdog

One more day til Christmas!! Yay!!

One more day of holiday shoppers… Boo…

I’m not gonna make it…

Today was the longest day ever…

And it was my early day…

Tomorrow I have an early day too…

And the store is only open til 6pm, not midnight…

And I even have a more positive attitude than others…

But even I’m getting worn thin…

I’ll feel better tomorrow as it’s actually Christmas Eve…

710320-248x248

I brought all the goodies for my team…

They really liked them…

Especially the brownies…

Tomorrow we are having our manager party…

The chocolate fudge bundt cake for the party is in the oven and the wrapped gift ready to go…

Son2 is getting ready to go to his friends Christmas Eve Eve gift exchange…

Hubby and I will have turkey loaf with stuffing and mashed potatoes and whatever other leftovers I find in the fridge for dinner…

We are going to watch Invasion of the Christmas Lights 2 & 3 that I DVRed and Too Cute on the Animal Planet Channel and probably some Ghost Adventures… all on the DVR… On Christmas Lights 2, Fresno’s Christmas Tree Lane is featured…

Son3 is having pizza and playing on the computer… He is officially on vacation now…

Hubby bought donuts for the boys for breakfast this morning and of course got me my favorite too… So when I got home to treat myself after a crazy day at work, I ate two… they were so good… and the trials of the day are melting away…

I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve…

All the presents are wrapped and under the tree…

I do have one thing coming for hubby in the mail tomorrow and one thing for DIL from son2 also coming in the mail that will have to be wrapped…

I need to vacuum and straighten up the house when I get home tomorrow as I haven’t cleaned in forever with all the working and getting ready for Christmas…

I have the ham already in the pan and covered with pineapple, mustard and brown sugar… In the morning before I go to work I’ll pop it in the oven and then when it’s done hubby can take it out so when I get home we can have ham with all the fixings for Christmas Eve dinner…

Then I am off on Christmas Day and the Day After…

It has been raining all weekend… I love it…
