Christmas Wrap-Up

Probably the busiest Christmas ever!!!!!

Well we did have a Christmas party the first Sunday of December and one on the 18th, but the real craziness started Tuesday the 21st with my cookie exchange party. I had a very good turnout and I am so happy that the weather was gentle and allowed everyone to make it. There is really not much to tell the blog but I made good food, we exchanged great cookies, and I gave everyone an ornament as a gift.

Then on Thursday (the 23rd) we went to a local bar when a band we know was playing and tons of our friends were there. Again, there is not much to tell-a few drinks, friends, and a band who we know. The main thing is we were out to 2 a.m. so that kind of made my Christmas Eve and Day exhausting because I didn't sleep.

Christmas Eve-
I had to make an appetizer side dish for the evening and sugar cookies, but I also had to squeeze a lot of time in with my mom who arrived from Wyoming late the night before so I was trying to get everything done with out being rude to her since she was in town and wanted to spend time me my little brother and myself (my older brother and her do not talk ever). So she took us to lunch at an Irish restaurant (my husband worked that day) and then we went to the hotel she was staying in for hot chocolate (her husband was with her and he would rather stay in a hotel) Then I had to leave to make my side dish and cookies for Christmas Eve party.

We then went to my aunt's and we have been going there for Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember. On Christmas Eve Day it serious never stopped snowing. We sent a record for most snow on Christmas Eve in my area. I really am not exaggerating when I said it never stopped snowing. After the party we came home and my husband and I opened one gift a piece.

Christmas Day-
My mom and her husband came over for banana and tea/coffee at my house. They left and my husband's family came over (his mom, step dad, 3 brother, and sister) We had brunch and exchanged presents. Then his mom, stepdad, sister, and one brother left and 2 of his brothers stayed until really late. I played 2 rounds of "Scene It-Comedy Movie" addition and then I went upstairs to watch Gilmore Girls while they played video games. We ordered pizza that night.

Today (day after Christmas)-
My dad and little brother came over and watched the BEARS game and I made dinner (cheesy potato and sirlion and turtle pie for dessert) then my brother, husband, and myself played another game of "Scene It-Comedy Movie Addition".

Well there you have it....I hope to post pictures tomorrow.
