WOW... from Halloween to CHRISTMAS !! Boy am I getting worse @ this blogging thing or what ?!!? Thats what LOVE will do to ya I guess!! hehehe... Jeffrey & I have been spending a lot of time 2gether (as always!!) ... Thanksgiving & Christmas were spent apart with our individual families this year which, to be honest, was kinda difficult but fun nonetheless. :o )
...CHRISTMAS w/ THE FAM...
Christmas Eve was spent just hanging out, playing games, talking & of course the traditional one gift...Although Kaiya got her way & got a few more than one!!
... She kept pointing at the gifts under the tree saying 'What tis?'
...Moona gave in & let her & Riley open a few (does that really surprise you!! lol)
After some fun @ the 'rents we headed over to Nick & Jaime's to get the kids in bed b4 Santa showed up!! ...Mom, Dad & I helped Nick & Jaime put together all the toys for Kaiya & Riley...lol... Now I know what it'll be like when I have my own kids!! Im gonna buy everything no assembly required !! LOL I swear it took us like 4 hours!! But Christmas morning it was totally worth it!! Kaiya really got into it & figured out by the last 2 or 3 presents that it goes faster if ya just rip into em! haha Riley opened a few & was definately more into it than I remember Kaiya being last year for her 1st Christmas :o )
They definately cleaned out Santa's workshop with all the fun stuff they got!! lol
(funny story: Jaime set out the milk & cookies... of course Kaiya wanted to eat the cookies & drink the milk - Jaime's words were 'dont touch the milk'...'dont touch' ...Harmless enough right?! LOL Christmas morning when Nick & Jaime told Kaiya that Santa had eaten the cookies & drank the milk she immediately said 'dont touch' !! lol)
Since Christmas Eve & Day were spent apart, Jeffrey & I decided to spend the entire day on Dec 26th 2gether as OUR Christmas !! :o )
He came over abt 8am, got into the pj's my mom had gotten the fam & climbed into bed...
Plan was to sleep basically 4ever then get up & pretend it was Christmas morning!! We slept a lil but were both too excited to give gifts so that didnt last long haha...We got up & exchanged presents!!
I got all kinds of massaging stuff - a hand held massager, a shiatsu massage chair & a coupon to go get a massage!! He also gave me coupons to do my dishes!! hehe ...since he couldnt find me a countertop dishwasher that had any good reviews!
For those who dont know...Jeffrey collects trains !!
All kinds all sizes... & his FAVORITE for a very long time has been a Union Pacific engine with the American flag on the side!! Well...
THIS year...He not only got the larger O scale size he's always wanted but I got him 2 smaller ones as well !!
He's also always wanted a passenger train set...SO... ;o )
I video recorded him opening each one cause I knew I'd get good reactions!! ... (sorry some of them are sideways)
I hope EVERYONE's holidays were as enjoyable as mine!!
I love you all & wish you the warmest, most joyous season !!
