We had two Christmas celebrations to go to this weekend. It was kind of nice. We had breakfast at my mom's. Sorry we showed up so late. Everyone had a nice time. We got to see the new addition to the Redd family. Madelyn is adorable. Always good to see Ed and his family. Our kids like playing with each other. I am not sure why we don't get them together more often.
We took Joe up to visit with my Dad right after that. We had snacks for lunch and dinner. All of which was yummy. I did gain a bit over a pound that day, which is a bit more than I would have liked. That will be good motivation for me to behave myself the rest of the week. I usually wish that my visits with Joe were longer, especially if the kids were not around. Don't get me wrong, I love them and they are good for a laugh or two. But the socializing is interupted. The kids 100% LOVE their Uncle Joe. That's cool.
By the time we got home, it was bedtime. Easy enough day.
This Saturday we will celebrate with the Wright family in south county. It may be awkward, seeing as I was not (invited) there last year. The whole family won't be there, so it should not be as bad as I once would have expected. Kevin will probably want to hit a meeting, so I am sure that we won't stay long.
Christmas eve we will celebrate here. Meghan is coming over early afternoon. I love it when she visits. Kevin will take her home after all the presents are opened and the fun is over. Santa is hitting our house first this year so that all kids can open presents at the same time. It may be overwhelming... my Dad will be giving out gifts that night too. Still working out the logistics of WHEN Santa will arrive, if the kids are in the house.
Christmas day should prove to be a "relaxing" day of playing with everything we opened the night before. Done. There is the Weindel Christmas party the following Saturday, but that will be no big deal. I hope James behaves himself longer than last year. We had to leave before dinner was served, because James had a meltdown. Cried from Cave Springs and 70 until somewhere around Olive and 270. The CRAAAASHED. HARD. I had to wake him for dinner. Kevin will be with us, so that should help a bit.
No plans for New Year's Eve yet. I suppose the children will want to stay up as late as they can like they tried last year. I made them go to bed before midnight, because I just could stay up any longer. Who knows about this year.
Hard to believe that another school year is half over. Feels like it just began. Next school year, we will have all children in school. No more daycare. Yippee.
