Christmas with the kiddos




I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! All five of us had a blast. Christmas made us very tired but all the prep work was worth it. A big thank you to my sister in law Shandra for having us all at her house. Here is a quick recount of the Christmas events.
1. Dinner with Aunt Susan and the family. Abby got a princess dress and Will got the biggest remote controlled car ever. Abby and Will ate three bites of macaroni and four handfuls of peanut m&ms for dinner.
2. Matt got done with work at 8pm. We all got in the car and headed to Greensboro. Will and Abby ate a few cookies and a two packs of fruit snacks before they passed out in the back seat.
3. Arrive at Thomas and Shandra's house at midnight. The kids were wired but they MUST go to sleep so that we can put out the Santa items and then fall into bed.
4. 2:30am. Abby wakes us all up throwing up in her bed...on Will's cover, the sheets, and her new princess dress that she insisted in wearing to bed. Was it something she ate? The throw up was immediately followed by diarrhea.
5. Repeat number 4 at 3:30am, 4:30am and 5:30am. Harper's pacifier seemed to fall out at 3am, 4am and then 5am.
6. 7am is Christmas time! Will and Abby got a Wii with a few games. So that the present piles would look even, Will got the games and Abby got the remote recharger. Lucky little girl.
The kids had a blast playing with the family and running around. I think my family had a good time too.
